Off-switch

I used to get it every year when I was in high school and college, on the backs of my hands. Nearly drove me nuts. Cortisone helps, but I started religiously using hand lotion (Curel and Aveeno are my favorites) every time I wash my hands (or my dishes!) and any other time they feel dry. Haven't had it in years. Can't guarantee the same thing for you, but it can't hurt to give it a go. Good luck!
