My knuckles are dry, peeling and now, many of them are cracking. This is unpleasant to say the very least, but however, I did not make any attempt to stop it when my hands were simply too dry from the many many times I've washed my hands in the past few days. Now, that they sting every time I clench my fists, I am too stupid to go find hand lotion and the self-destructive side of me doesn't care.
