New strategy for fixing my hands is looking only slightly better...but feels pretty good. It's like I have normal skin again. For now anyway. We'll see about the morning

It's not actually a burn. There was only a slight burn from the battery but nothing that stayed more than a couple of days. I was pretty lucky with that incident.
This is for a rash that's been driving me crazy since December. Doctors that I saw about it said it was eczema and prescribed a steroid cream. I think this actually made it worse, because steroids can thin the skin, so whenever I did scratch it pretty much just peeled off. Kinda nasty. So I tried really hard not to scratch for a few days, but it doesn't seem to help. So I scrubbed off the dead skin in the shower, and that seems to work better. It itches less, so far. The scabbed bits are kind of itchy, but that can't be helped.
I think I have psoriasis, not eczema. So this kind of is the right procedure.

Not sure if you're supposed to use lotion on the exposed portion..especially if it's a burn still...?
