Hi there!
I've just started a placement in a immunology/infectious diseases ward, in a 
children hospital. The handwashing is non-stop, so by the end of the shift 
my hands are red raw...please, help! Does anyone knows of a super handcream? 
I will really appreciate any tips.
Thank you guys!
Mina

Neutragena ?sp
A bit sticky, but very very good.

You, in the red uniform, go see what that noise is!

I suffer from eczema, and my hands get really bad, more so with the alcohol 
gel and soap that we use on the ward.The Neutrogena as recommended by jermec 
is really good, as is the hemp chanvre from the body shop. I tried loads of 
differant hand creams before finding two that were suitable for my hands.

Try a selection, there's no one answer.
I swear by Arran Apothcary's Aloe Vera.

Sod it.
There, it happened again.

You've got loads of replies and I can't help as I never have any problems I
can use Betadine or Hibiscrub all day and never get dry skin
even when I'm fishing in freezing temperatures my hands are still OK

must have weird skin to go with the weirdness of me

Wish I was the same, it's a bummer getting bad hands! As for the purell gel, 
well, that's a killer when it gets into the cracks of your hands!
