5 Best Medical Treatments For Cracked Hands

Cracked hands aren't just a nuisance; they are a painful and uncomfortable problem, especially if left untreated. A pain to deal with... 

While there are many home remedies and over-the-counter creams that can help relieve symptoms, sometimes medical treatment is necessary to heal the skin and prevent further damage. Here, we will discuss the top 5 best medical treatments for those pesky cracked hands.

Prescription steroid creams

Moisturising gloves

Slip into moisturising gloves for a touch of hand-healing luxury. 

Crafted with moisture-retaining fabrics, these gloves, which are another medical treatment that can help heal cracked hands, helps retain moisture and promote healing.

They are usually worn overnight, but can also be worn during the day under regular gloves. Some moisturising gloves also contain vitamins and other nutrients that help nourish the skin.

My personal trick? I apply MaGéAu Naturel hand lotion on my hands and feet before going to sleep to wake up with deep moisturised skin. That with the gloves, it makes me wonder.

Antibacterial ointments

When cracks turn into infections, your doctor may prescribe an antibacterial ointment to help fight the infection and come to the rescue. 

Combating infections while calming inflammation, these ointments work tirelessly to promote healing. Your doctor may recommend covering the affected area with a bandage or dressing to help the ointment penetrate the skin more effectively.

Hand soaks

For a spa-like escape, indulge in hand soaks. It can be a soothing and effective medical treatment for cracked hands. Soaking your hands in warm water and Epsom salts soothes and reduces inflammation and promotes healing. You can also add ingredients like oatmeal, baking soda, or tea tree oil to the water for added benefits. After a relaxing soak, be sure to moisturise your hands thoroughly to lock in the benefits.

Light Therapy

Sometimes, your hands need a dose of light to thrive. In that case, light therapy will be recommended as a medical treatment for cracked hands. This treatment involves exposing the affected skin to ultraviolet light, which can help reduce inflammation, promote healing and spur recovery. 

Your doctor may recommend a specific type of light therapy, such as UVB phototherapy or excimer laser therapy, depending on the severity of your symptoms.

Bask in the glow and let your hands revel in the radiance.
