 Liquid Soap Causes Cracked Hands.
Hi Steve, regarding dry and cracking skin after more frequent hand washing, make sure you aren't using "liquid soap", don't know what you call it in the USA, but anything that you pump from a dispenser.
It isn't soap in the chemical sense and I know from experience it's a lot more harsh. It doesn't normally matter but if you suddenly have to start washing your hands more frequently, these skin problems appear. Switch to a bar of soap, real chemical soap. It's a lot more gentle.
I developed bleeding cracked skin over the knuckles and it gets very sore, with the skin tearing open repeatedly. Switching to soap made it disappear quickly.
