Allergy on hand- sanitizer

2023-08-07 08:41:05
Due to excessive usage of a particular sanitizer my hands had gotten red and wrinkly. After stopping for the past 1 year redness has gone but it's rough and wrinkly. Have been to doctors and all tests done. No amount of moisturizer and other creams prescribed has worked. What else can I do to get back my soft hands? Is lycor type of cream safe to use? Was prescribed but in the area I lived in it wasn't available. So couldn't use much. Please advise
