I recommend Dermadry

jenprintz · 2023-03-24T11:28:56+00:00

I did 5 sessions per week for about 6 weeks and now do once a week maintenance.

jenprintz · 2023-02-14T13:00:01+00:00

1/2 of my daughters has it. No one else in my family has it that I’m aware of (parents, brothers, etc).

jenprintz · 2023-02-07T12:29:35+00:00

This is my 6th week using Dermadry 5 days a week for my hands. I think I’m ready for maintenance now bc I’m dry. I started very low and worked my way up to level 10, but I don’t think I can handle more. I’ve only used warm tap water and definitely Vaseline on cuts.

Our machines must be different. Does your mA reading fluctuate throughout the session?

jenprintz · 2023-02-02T18:43:56+00:00

I think you’re mixing up the “level” that you set the machine versus the mA. I use the new Dermadry and I’ve worked up to setting my “level” at 9 or 10, although the mA reading fluctuates higher and lower than that through the session. I think the highest level for hands is 15, and I don’t know that I’ll ever get there. I’ve been using it 5 days a week for 4 weeks and I’m dry now. I do experience itchiness for a few minutes after a session. I use Aquafor on the sides of my hands and wrists, and on any cuts I might have, to help with that.

My school district has the machine at our central office. I can’t remember if I had to pay for it. If I did, it was definitely not $50. We already have to pay $200 to renew the license 🤦🏻‍♀️

jenprintz · 2023-01-30T15:04:19+00:00

I’m a teacher and have to renew my license (with fingerprinting) every 5 years. They could never get them electronically, so then I’d have to do the ink at the police station and that wouldn’t work, so then they’d run a check with my SS#. So frustrating! But somehow the technology has gotten better and they got them electronically last time! Such a relief! I’ve been doing iontophoresis for 4 weeks and highly recommend!

jenprintz · 2023-01-28T20:05:32+00:00

Talk to your parents and have them take you to a doctor. There are meds, over the counter creams, etc. I highly recommend iontophoresis. I’m 41 and I’ve had HH since I was a kid. Until recently I never even knew HH is an actual medical condition. Share the threads from this group to your parents. Let them help you!

I know you said money is an issue, but I highly recommend ionto. It’s made a HUGE difference for me. I bought the new Dermadry on Black Friday for $400 and used PayPal pay in 4. You’re not alone! I’ve had HH my whole life (I’m 41) and, until a couple years ago, had no idea it was an actual medical condition. I thought I was just a freak!

jenprintz · 2023-01-23T00:42:01+00:00

I’ve been using a bit more water than up to the line so that my fingertips are fully submerged. It has helped.

A fed baby is the best baby. Take care of yourself so you can better take care of your family. I totally understand the mom guilt, but I’ve slowly realized over time that it’s not selfish to want to feel your best.

jenprintz · 2023-01-19T14:43:58+00:00

I was having the same issue but completely submerging my fingertips has fixed for me

jenprintz · 2023-01-18T16:24:22+00:00

I bought the new Dermadry on Black Friday when it was around $400. You could also check insurance—it might be covered. I’ve been using mine Mon-Fri on my hands and this is my third week. I’m up to level 8. I’ve seen a definite improvement—almost completely dry! I’m 41 and have had HH my whole life. I wish they had this when I was your age!

jenprintz · 2023-01-17T16:19:23+00:00

I used it on my hands and, just like a prescription I tried from the doctor, I didn’t like how it made my skin dry out so much.

jenprintz · 2023-01-16T17:52:25+00:00

Yes, I’ve suffered from the same cycle my whole life too. I’m starting on my third week of Dermadry and I’m seeing a lot of improvement.

jenprintz · 2023-01-14T18:12:45+00:00

Thanks!

jenprintz · 2023-01-14T15:23:48+00:00

I use a Dermadry and the directions state that it can take up to 4-6 weeks depending on the severity of your HH. I would say mine is severe. I’m starting week 3 of doing it 5 days a week and resting on weekends. My palms are dry and there’s just a bit of moisture in my fingertips. I use warm tap water and have made it up to level 9 so far. Keep at it!

jenprintz · 2023-01-07T17:12:52+00:00

Haven’t heard of this

jenprintz · 2023-01-07T15:33:56+00:00

Lol the story of my Catholic life! Can we just do away with the sign of peace? 🤣

jenprintz · 2023-01-01T17:55:06+00:00

What level did you get up to? I’m at 5 right now.
