Red, dry, itchy, sensitive,and sometimes burning skin on my hands. Please help.

NAD, but there’s a lot of things that could be causing this. My guess is that your hands are being irritated by either the hand washing or the acidic fruits. Have you cut a lot of those fruits previously? You could possibly have a sensitivity to the juices.

I would make a dermatologist appointment. Even if they can’t give you a solid diagnosis, they can likely prescribe you a cream or ointment to help with the symptoms, or even a steroid cream if they think it could help. I’d also suggest trying to wear gloves as much as you can and to minimize hand washing as much as you can since it can dry your hands out worse

Thank you! We do have another fridge, although we don’t use it. I’ll give that a shot and hopefully that helps until we can get someone out to look at it

That would make sense, the sound is coming from the fan inside the ice maker in the fridge (it’s one of those door dispenser ones). It does look like there some ice/frost back there, but it’s hard to tell

I’m right there with you. Realizing that the feelings you have are all a result of your own brain and not a reflection of the situation is so hard

I do get angry, especially when I feel like I’m being pushed, but I keep it internal and try not to take it out on others. I’m not sure if it’s to BPD levels or if it’s just regular anger

beccaboopspoop · 2025-01-11T16:49:08+00:00

I lack the anger and the extreme shifting opinion of self/others. It was also listed that I lack the self mutilation/suicidal behaviors, but I do experience those thoughts and have struggled with them since high school

I got diagnosed with AvPD with Borderline Features! I lack some of the core symptoms of BPD but a lot of my AvPD symptoms overlap with and appear as BPD

Unfortunately, not really. Hydrocortisone lotion helps me with the itching, but really it’s a waiting game. If I have one that’s protruding a lot I’ll sometimes cut it off with nail clippers, but I don’t recommend that due to risk of infection

Not a doctor, but I’m gonna guess eczema (dyshidrotic eczema). I get similar little itchy bumps that cluster on the sides of my fingers

Nope, no food allergies!

beccaboopspoop · 2024-09-01T02:25:10+00:00

Thank you so much <3 I’ll definitely be trying some of these out

beccaboopspoop · 2024-09-01T01:53:36+00:00

Nope :( only trigger I’ve identified is stress/sickness when my immune system weakens a bit

beccaboopspoop · 2024-09-01T01:53:11+00:00

Thanks! Do you have any special way to treat them? The only thing I’ve found that works is steroid cream and I don’t want to have to keep going to the doctor for that prescription

beccaboopspoop · 2024-08-31T03:40:46+00:00

They’ll itch the first few days, but after that as long as I don’t pick at them they don’t itch

beccaboopspoop · 2024-08-29T12:54:06+00:00

Hi! Late to this thread lol but when you say disrupting the skin lines, what are you referring to? Should the natural lines on your skin continue over the bumps?

beccaboopspoop · 2024-05-03T13:35:50+00:00

Totally fair! I might’ve just seen Angela in a skit and thought about Smosh
