Skin Care - what do you use? 28-Jul-2011 At 9:35:16 AM Will_P

After getting some kind of contact dermatitis isolated to my fingertips and aggravating it with lots of bouldering on plastic (and with my tips looking much like the original photos), I tried a bunch of stuff, both "moisturiser" based and steroid-based for the dermatitis. The only thing that worked well and quickly and needed to be applied twice a day (after trial and error) was Burt's Bee's Cuticle Cream. Put it all over the shredded area and rub it in thoroughly, it's pretty greasy. Cheaper than Climb On! bars, smells better, and (for me) worked well. Best bet for finding it is healthfood stores.
