Hi everyone. My husband is 55. For the last couple of years he has had horrible rough, itchy, slitting open skin on his hands. They have gradually gotten worse. He has gone to two drs. They say it’s something his hands are reacting to, maybe from the past. He’s worked on airplanes his whole career so used lots of chemicals. They give him a steroid shot and it clears up. But he can’t take those very often. They have given him creams, laser therapy and he sleeps with vasoline on his hands with gloves on. He came home from work today almost in tears. His hands hurt so bad. They are cracked and the skin is so thick and cracked. Has any one else had this happen after working with chemicals for their whole working career? I feel terrible for him.
