Dry Knuckles 2010-02-21 16:37:58 Reply

Well, Since about last week, the skin on my hands around my knuckles started to "dry out" a bit, according to what my parents told me. I'm not sure what the cause of this might be or if this is the right diagnosis after all. I'm afraid I can't supply you with a picture though, but tiny peels of skin occasionally come off and my knuckles often look half-red. When I put special cream on it for dried hands, the dry parts sting unnaturally.

That's why I've decided to call for the aid of the many clever newgrounders around here to help determine what's up. So, newgrounds, what is wrong with me?

Chafing on leather? Like punching bag/pads?

I'm not the violent type, and I pretty much spent the entire week typing, not using these knuckles / joints at all.

This just happens to people. There's no one reason, but it's mainly because your hands are too cold.

Just moisturise. It will make your knuckles smooth and you'll be more of a man.

That sounds like some decent advice, thank you.
