    After washing my car my hands break out in aful rashes to the point of which when i bend my fingers they bleed.

    Aching in the cold weather.

    I have been trying to use barrior cream but this does not seem to be working anyone ever have any issues like this?

    My hands are woeful in the cold and always bleed.

    E45 cream every night and it repairs it and builds up a barrier! Works wonders

    Do you wear anything when your washing your car? Try wearing latex gloves!

    You aren't allergic to the latex also are you?

    If they're that bad, get do the doctors or a dermatologist. There could be a problem or allergy to something you are using.

    Your hands are rather important, so dont take any chances. And barrier cream can only do so much ( or little ) After washing etc use moisturiser. Especially in cold weather.

    I saw a bad case of dermatitis a few years back where the guys hands were literally pealing off like snake skin. He had to wear gloves permanently and it will never heal.

    Always made me wear gloves and wash them properly ;(

    Got seen today i can never wash myself or shower my self in any product that contains soap of any kind this includes shower gel hand soap.

    Its also got to the stage that water on its own will cause my hands to break. Nitemare

    So is it a soap allergy, or some other problem ? Something you may have caused, or just something that has happened ?
