hi, I have lived with this for the last 16 months, i wear white cotton gloves all the time you can buy them at the supermarket for $2 a pair I have at least 12 pairs, also cotton socks for my feet, plenty of cream, so long as it has urea in it, any kind will do, please let your oncologist know as you may need your treatment tweaked,i am unable to peel vegetables etc and any kind of friction on my hands makes it worse, i have just had to adjust to having this and my partner is great at peeling spuds!!
