Dry hands

[Denmark]

Hi everyone.

December is coming and I wash my hands too much due to my OCD. My hands become very dry. What should I do?

And how do you guys handle your problems with hand washing?

God bless you!

Well the way to stop this compulsions is to stop washing your hands.....Doctors help your anxiety with medications like SSRI SNRI Benzo's for anxiety and the Anti-Depressents for the obsessing.....ERP is really good for this type of obsession but you have to have the right therapist to help you with this........By stopping your hand washing....Your anxiety will rise cause your fear of germs. Let it rise and sit with it for awhile so that you can get used to the anxiety....Over time the anxiety will lesson and you'll improve.....That is just a example and I'm not a doctor. I would like you to see a doctor and him/her tell you what you need to do.

I would suggest using lots of lotion and hand creams; and if you can use handsanitizer, then just do that. That's what I do and to me it isn't as drying. Plus they do have hand sanitizer that has lotion in it. I hope I helped.
