Recommended Posts

Hia.

I have OCD, im getting really sore hands from washing them. Im a nurse so wash my hands lots anyway. The fact i end up washing then 3 times is making them sore. I have tried hand cream but end up washing that of coz it feels gross and makes me feel unclean.

Any ideas on how i can stop my hands being sore maybe a good cream thats not gonna feel greasy. (obviously stopping washing my hands would help but thats not an option lol)

8-)

thanks

How about aqueous cream? Its very cheap also you can get big tubs of it from the chemist.

Hey Mayleigh,

If you can stand it, smother your hands in some cream (Aqueous cream as meme suggested is really good) and put on some cotton gloves before you go to sleep. It really does help with the dryness and soreness that comes from over washing.

Hope this helps
