Does anyone know anything about how I can find more information about Dried, cracked, peeling, bleeding, itching hands? I'm scared that she might be allergic to something that she's eatting or that she's exposed herself to that she's not even aware about. Her occupation is a manicurist and there's a good chance that with all the things she have to work around is giving her an allergic reaction.

I don't know how to stress it enough to my friend that she needs to really take care of herself. I've noticed that she's been having these symptoms all summer long. She keeps telling me that its no big deal that she'll just use the over the counter medication to take care of it, like anti-iching creme. I noticed it more on the left hand then on the right hand and she does use the right hand to write. I don't even know where to start when it comes to searching on the internet to find out what would cause such a thing, especially when the symptoms have been happening for months now.
