Here are some tips to help you feel better:
- If you smoke, stop.
- Don't use bubble bath or shower gel. Use a soap with moisturizer instead.
- Protect your skin. Wear vinyl gloves when you work with water, use household cleaners, or work in your garden.
- Wear 100% cotton socks, and avoid shoes made from man-made products.
- Be careful. Any injuries, even minor ones, can be hard on your skin. If you have an injury, use waterproof bandages.
- Keep the affected areas clean.
- Rest your hands and feet often.
