This appears to be eczema. If you have eczema, you might have noticed that the skin on your hands has become dry, red, itchy, and even cracked since the start of the pandemic. Sanitisers can alter the pH balance of ur skin with time. More people are experiencing extreme dryness and irritation on their hands. The drying effects of handwashing are coupled with the impact of stress. Stress can have a drying effect on your skin even without the use of harsh soaps and chemicals. Limit the use of sanitisers to the basic requirements and also use medicated cream based soaps to prevent mode skin damage.
