Answer #1

whats wrong with her hand ?

Answer #2

lol its under my title:)

Answer #3

I seriously doubt the doctors are “torturing” her. Your mother obviously has an affliction that is difficult to treat. The doctors will know better than any of us how to deal with it, and if she doesn’t think they are doing enough, she has the right to a second opinion from another doctor. We don’t even know what it is your mother has - any advice we offer can actually do more harm than good.

Answer #13

Eucerin!!!!

Answer #14

can you be more specific about the symptoms? Does she have open sores? Is it camstamt or periodic? do they swell up? is the skin hard?

Answer #15

sorry…constant

Answer #16

Eucerin is amazing for dry skin. However, since we don’t know what’s causing the dry skin I am hesitant to suggest it. Get a dermatologist to check. And I am aware how painful it is when the skin is hard and starts to form cracks. It is difficult to do anything. My sympathies are with her.

Answer #17

it worked wonders for my skin, i had the same condition.. :D

Answer #18

Is she a diabetic? Have any liver problems? Eye problems? Sounds like an auto-immune disorder

Answer #24

yeah i guess dermatologist

Answer #25

I think you need to see another dermatologist, or doctor. My mother has a similar problem, although it isn’t as severe as your mother’s issue sounds, it still sounds like it may be the same thing.

My mother went to the doctor, and they gave her some sort of prescription hand cream. It helped her, so it may work on your mother’s hands as well. I don’t know what it is called, but I am sure if you went to the dermatologist or doctor, they would prescribe you the same thing… or something similar.

Answer #26

My mother also uses Eucerin for her hands, it works on hers.
