Yes, my hands are very dry and peeling. I am constantly applying lotion. I'm trying to use gloves when cleaning.

Hi Jeff,
Yes, both my hands are super dry and itchy, but my right hand is peeling on the palm. I’m not on any medications. I figured it had something to do with my kidneys being affected by IgA Kappa.

My nails aren’t as strong as they used to be that’s for sure. I was told to use lotion out of a jar , CeraVe or similar products. I buy the generic brand, I use a lot, I haven’t noticed any itchy skin or peeling. Sunblock everyday! I drink lots of water. I even had to cut back cause it was washing out my potassium and sodium. I still drink a bunch just make sure I get plenty of bannanas in my diet. 🐵
