I use Eucerin, which helps. It won't completely correct it, especially if, as I suspect, you've got more than dry skin. If you're getting a group of little bumps that get very dry and the skin flakes off -- I'm describing it badly, but that's what it's like for me -- that might be a sort of stress related autoimmune thing. It's not at all dangerous, but it is annoying. I've got it all over my hands, and sometimes get it on my arms and legs, too. It's a little like eczema, and it responds to either steroid creams or Elavil. But, again, it's not at all serious, or dangerous -- less so even than eczema.

Good luck, and do try the Eucerin.
