Whats everyone hand and feet home remedies?

I have heard of hand/feet side effects of Xeloda, but have no first hand experience. However, one of the best skin salves I’ve ever used is lanolin based with herbs and vitamins. You only need a little, and it lasts as long as 24 hours. I have used it on my eczema and gave some to my sister who has topical psoriasis. She loves it. I use “Lanolia,” based in Ireland. It is about $20 plus shipping, so is a bit expensive. I see they have a hand cream for about $34. I have not used the cream that comes in a tube Check out their website. Lanolia.ie. Perhaps you can find a more local equivalent. I cannot tout this salve enough. It is a mother/daughter owned company. I found it on a trip thru Ireland at a sheep dog demo. Hence the source of the lanolin. It is a small, very clean farm. The salve is crafted in small batches and was invented by the Mom to help her daughter with her psoriasis. There are several formulations to choose from. You can chat with them to get a recommendation. I’ve used the ones with calendula and with chamomile. If you are allergic to wool/lanolin, skip this. Good luck!FYI for full disclosure, I have no connection with Lanolia except as a very satisfied customer.

No problems for 3 months (14 days on, 7 days off) 1,000mg in am then 10 hours later 1500mg in pm).

I began noticing my feet started peeling, my finger tips began to crack, skin on fingers would open a tiny bit enough to catch on clothing, blankets, etc. ouch!!

My iPhone no longer recognized my finger print.

I ordered white cotton gloves, white cotton peds on Amazon and a large jar of Aquaphor applying everyday as needed.

My feet are much happier. I found putting cream on clean feet, moisturized my hands.

At night I dip my finger tips in Aquaphor then put on gloves. It’s helping and making my cuticles soft. Win-win ❣️ God bless’

I was on it for a year with no problems. I used cream with at least 20% urea ( it can be found on Amazon), took Vit B-6 and used Bag Balm with Lanolin. I had zero HFS while on it. I also made a point when soaking in the tub to hang my hands and feet out of the hot water.
