hi i always have a dry sensation in my hands. they are not dry to the touch eg: if i asked someone to touch the surface of my hand they would say they are EXTREMELY SOFT and thats because i cream my hands ALL THE TIME. i always have lotion with me to apply when the dry sensation comes. things that off set it can be touching certain materials that i cannot stand to touch. i am in full time education which means im always doing school work. one of the materials i always have to touch is paper and i cannot stand the touch of paper along with other materials so you can imagine the struggle. running my hands under water also off sets the sensation. when the sensation attacks i have to clench my fist and some short term relief is even to lick my fingers if i dont have lotion. i know its sounds gross but the sensation over comes the idea of how gross it is to lick your fingers. the sensation came in year 4/3rd grade and im 14 and still have it. some people say it is OCD or my hands are overly sensitized but i need a doctor to help as i read these conclusions on online forums please help
