Yep...I experienced that. It sucked! I ended up using the lotion from the hospital they sent me home with (more like oily vaseline and hated how greasy my hands felt) but it seemed to work. I also increased my Fluid intake.

I a thick layer of Aquaphor then put on nitrile or latex gloves for a few hours. I also sleep with a humidifier to keep the air from being so dry in my bedroom during the winter.

Same here! I've been itchy all over, also.

I've been quite itchy myself. I'm using Shea butter & coconut oil on my body and Cetaphil on my face.

Nail polish remover is very drying.

I have slathered my hands in lotion, then covered them with cotton gloves to sleep. Worked well.

Good luck!

+1 more Water too...
