Dry skin on hand near knuckle - frostnip, windburn, cold? Posted: 03-16-06 08:04am
Hello,
i have had, for the past 1.5 weeks,
something strange on my hand, where my
knuckles are. At first, it was just dry
skin. I applied some lotion, it did not
help at all. The skin stayed dry and
parched. Then I applied a hand salve
(burts bees), and the skin began to
'break' and little cuts formed. The skin
stung, and bled a little. Now the skin
is a little scabby and there is a cut
which is a bit deep. I have been
bandaging it for a few days. I have
absolutely no idea what this is -
frostnip, windburn?
I live in a cold climate, but my hands are
not often exposed to the cold wind
(gloves, pockets)
