Soaking the hands in 3% hydrogen peroxide for 30 minutes may cure the problem. Then follow with emu oil and maybe even some neem oil too. If you can stand the smell. Neutrogena hand cream is also very effective if left on overnight. This is after the peroxide soak. If the first 30 min. does not result in a cure, surely it will give great results and can be followed in a couple of days or sooner, with another 30 min. soak. Hope this helps. I feel real confident it will. pj
