  5. Ive been dealing with dry, scaly skin on my knuckles that wont go away, even after using moisturizer regularly. I dont have access to a good dermatologist in my area, so Im looking for a solution. If you can recommend any creams, it would be helpful if you could mention the brand names, especially those that are easily available in smaller places.

Ive been dealing with dry, scaly skin on my knuckles that wont go away, even after using moisturizer regularly. I dont have access to a good dermatologist in my area, so Im looking for a solution. If you can recommend any creams, it would be helpful if you could mention the brand names, especially those that are easily available in smaller places.

You may be dealing with a condition like eczema or psoriasis. In this case, I recommend trying a cream containing 1% hydrocortisone, such as Cortizone-10. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for up to 2 weeks. Additionally, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil Restoraderm Skin Restoring Body Moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated. Remember to consult a healthcare professional if the symptoms persist or worsen.
