12. "RE: is there a soap that you have to use. or will any soap do?" In response to In response to 11
I use Dove sensitive skin (unscented). I went through a lot of trials with soap and found that it caused the least amount of damage.
My hands are severely dry and crack/bleed almost daily. I've found that lotions with the highest levels of Urea usually work best (Eucerin Intensive Repair is my current go to).
Last month I went through 55 bottles of Purell. I have 2 bottles on my at all time when I'm out of the house.
