(4,544 posts)I have had a problem with dermatitis on my hands for many years. I have tried everything, including prescription remedies from my dermatologist. Not much helps. However, there is ONE cleanser I've found to be tolerable, and actually even helpful. It's not a hand soap. It's a facial cleanser made by Olay. I use it for everything. It has the word "calming" in its name, and it does just that for me. It soothes and calms my skin. It's not cheap, but works for me, and that makes it worth every penny.
It comes in a white and green pump and is called "Olay Sensitive Hungarian Water Essence Calming Liquid Cleanser." It's hard to find in stores. I first bought it at Target, but can't find it there anymore. I buy it online now. Amazon has it, Walmart has it, and you can also order it directly from Olay. Here's a link to it at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M7PPW8F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_xlzcFbSDH7TSW
Another thing that might help, if you can find them, is nitrile gloves in a small size. (Nitrile is hypoallergenic, latex is not.) I wore them often to protect my skin before the pandemic, and don't leave the house without them now. She may feel better about touching things with them on. (I do.) She can put germ killer or hand sanitizer on them instead of her skin, and she can be taught how to properly strip them off and dispose of her "second skin," too. I keep a bag at the door for that very purpose.
I hope these things are helpful! Many blessings to all of you.
