    The excessive use of lotion is probably what’s doing it. Your skin stopped making it’s own protective oils. What you’re experiencing is not normal.

      I know, but I’m in a shitty cycle. It started when I was about 15, I’m 32 now. It’s just been a constant battle. I don’t know what originally caused it, but when I was a teen my hands just got super dry painful. I dealt with it for weeks, and then started using lotion. Have been using it ever since.
