Why do my hands burn after putting lotion on them when they've been really dry?

Asked by poofandmook (17320points) February 16th, 2009

It’s winter. Plus, I’m a compulsive hand-washer… so my hands get really dry and sometimes I forget lotion until it’s too late and they’re super dry. It seems to me that the lotion should make it feel better, not burn and show little red spots all over my hands.

It’s not the lotion, and it’s not an allergy… because I use all different lotions, and sometimes just 100% aloe gel.
