<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.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 43rd 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  <response>: Hello, I can understand your concern for Chat Doctor. After analyzing your query I can get that you have the problem of necrosis of the skin and especially of hands. It is quite a common condition which basically results either as a genetic condition or can be due to simple condition also. In my patients I generally prescribe an emollient cream to be applied over the hands for multiple times a day. A urea based cream is the best suites your kind of condition. It is quite important to not wet the hands repeatedly as can cause more
