[Skin Concerns] Wearing gloves for months on end, destroyed my hands. Skin cut up and raw on hands. HELP!

Beauty Tips For Body Care
SUMMARY:Hey! Long time subscriber here, but never posted in here. A summary to describe my condition:I am M, 19 years old, live in NYC. I have suffered through eczema and dry skin all my life, so that led me to be very skin conscious all my life as well.I got a job a year ago, as a cook. During my job, we are required to wear gloves. We can change them, but knowing how lazy I am, I never switched it out. What happened was that my hands sweat so much in there, and made my skin super sensitive. What happened next was that my skin started tearing. I had big holes on all my fingers that were just above the level of bleeding and raw skin all around. My hands were so delicate that every touch rips it more. I cannot do daily tasks like washing dishes, and could not even do my job.PicturesI know I have wrinkly hands, but doctors say that's cause of eczema? Whatever, that's another issue altogether. The lighting flatters my hands, but in real life it is much redder and more raw. Warning, it may be a little horrid.http://i.imgur.com/3SDllOY.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/bbmr2P6.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/DiVFJpr.jpgProducts I've Tried:So I took a leave of absence for 3 months, and the first month passed by, still no improvement. I have tried Aloe Vera, Jojoba Oil, Argan Oil, Aveeno, Aquaphor. I'm trying not to touch my hands on anything, but as you can see it is SO hard. Everytime I shower, layers of skin come out and parts of my hand are raw again. It's been a month without work and it only minimally decreased. Every time I accidently hit my finger against something it is like hell to me, because it opens those scabs again.What Now?Sometimes I get anxious and depressed because I miss using my hands and I want to get healed as fast as possible. Even typing is hard, I only use the fingers there is no damage. HELP! :(
