living with hand problems

I have decided to let the politicians do as they please and just show up at the polls.  I am dealing with the skin problem on my hands this month.  Hopefully, I can get it under control soon.  This is an ongoing problem that I have had since 2003.  I have been diagnosed with allergy to chemicals used in making paper.  However, I seem to be ultra sensitive to any household cleaners now.  I also can't use any soaps with chemicals.  I have to have all natural.  No nail polish.  Cuticles are gone.  The nails also are affected.  They will pull away from the nail bed and die.  I have been tested for bacterial infection and for fungal infections.  Both were negative.  No doctor has been able to properly diagnose this in the last 8 years.  All they do is prescribe Triamcinolene Acetonide Cream.  Works ok some of the time, but the new skin that comes back is very fragile.  So, I do housework in gloves.  I do yard work in gloves.  I pretty much live in gloves.
