Can't stop. Won't stop.
This appears to be a lack of melatonin. When you get sun, there should at least be some pigment.
I find just snipping off the skin tags with clippers keeps it from going too far.
That's like wiping your nose until it's a bloody stump. Your hands are falling apart because they're dry. Moisturize!
Sure. That works preventatively. Once you have the peeling, best to clip and sanitize.
If having lotion in your hands makes you uncomfortable, try just dabbing a tiny bit on the the backs of your fingernails and rubbing them against each other to spread it only on your cuticles. No slimy fingerpads or palms, and it really helps.
Such is the nature of my work. Is that what caused this?
Moisturizer
Get a brand called Cetaphil and use it on your hands every day or whenever they dry out.
I've worked in construction and I like working as a mechanic in my own vehicles ..... it means my bare hands get exposed to a lot of dirt, sand, mud, metal, oil and chemicals ... which means I have to wash with lots of soap and chemicals. In the winter it's worse in the dry cold air.
So my hands get dry chapped and even cracked and start bleeding. My skin is so cracked and broken now that I can no longer use my finger print ID on my phone. I've tried resetting it multiple times but a new crack forms and then no longer works again.
For years I put up with it and pretended I was a man that didn't need help .... but I got sick and tired of it and started using moisturizer and I really don't care what anyone says about it.
I still get dry cracked skin but not as often and not as severe.
I have similar problems and have found many solutions, but Vaseline and cotton gloves overnight are freaking amazing. Kinda gross though. It's like the nuclear treatment, afterwhich normal moisturizer works for maintenance.
I don't blame you .... when your skin is literally melting into blistering flesh, you will try anything to save yourself. I remember when it first happened about 15 years ago, it went from a small open sore to full blown skin melting all over my hand, forearm up to my elbow the reaction was so strong. I was bandaged up to the elbow for about a month before I saw a dermatologist and it was scary because I thought I was done for and that it would only get worse.
So any nuclear option that is gross, ugly, weird or just strange is fine by me as long as it works.
Like the old saying .... 'If it looks stupid but it works, then it isn't stupid'
Mom turned me onto corn husker's oil. Figured since we shared genes, and it worked for her, might as well. Shit is the bomb. Tiny dab'll do ya, doesn't leave your hands greasy, dries fast, works fast, cheap, all that.
My fingertips split in cold and dry air. Apparently I got a weird gene from great grandma, never met another person with the problem. Tiny crack across the tip, skin dies and turns hard, splits deeper, rinse and repeat. And the pain is stunning, like having an infected splinter stuck in your fingertip. Got that shit this year working outside in February and into March. Only took a few nights of using corn husker's oil, GTG.
Those cracks are called skin fissures.
The clean hands club!!
no?? you just have massive bloody spots where skin is missing and didn't have a problem with it?

Guys, they got Mouselemming
Augh, I'm okay but so embarrassed!
Just gonna add, you can use a stick of lip balm on cuticles!
Yes but I have acral deciduous skin syndrome.
Why did I get in this thread 😨
You need something with hydrocortisone to soothe. Not just a lotion
Hand lotion and learn how to give yourself a manicure. 5 minutes a week and your hands will thank you.
