I work with my hands in water most of the day. Due to this i have got numbness in my fingers and my skin peels. My hands now are starting to burn. I already wear gloves and try to mositurise my hands. Any other suggestions ?
Your hands are starting to burn because your skin is already damaged to the point that it’s so dried out that it cracks and peels. Because your hands are in water that long, only moisturizing them can’t help completely. Whether it’s warm or cold water, gloves aren’t just thick enough to fully protect your hands, and moisturizing cream does not contain all of the nutrients that are needed now to regenerate damaged layers of skin. Hands are normally covered with oily substance that protects the skin by diverting water, it seems to me that good idea would be for you to start using some greasy hand cream before work, and when you come home you should use the moisturizer.
