I own aquariums and have cats and dogs (I used to have rats! RIP Margo and Lilac). I am also a nurse, so I am constantly washing my hands.
Those are all the tips I can think of right now! Hopefully something in there is useful!
Jack's Gloves
Pick yours up at Amazon.weepodcast.com
Disclaimer: I do not know for sure if these are the exact ones Jack was wearing.
Edit: I didn't notice that u/benwiener created a new post dedicated to Jack's gloves. I was posting on this thread as I was listening to the episode.
About 2-3 nights a week I slather my hands in Vaseline and stick them in some 100% cotton gloves. I’ll watch tv for an hour or two while it absorbs in and they feel great after. Some people go further and sleep with the gloves on, but that feels too weird for me. This has saved me, a fellow over washer living in the dry and cold mountains of Colorado.
Scanning is costly, yeah. If you shoot a roll a week or more, it's a no-brainer, cause you'll make back your costs on what you save in paying for lab scans pretty quick. If you shoot less than that, "it depends".
If you're just shooting 35mm, a used Plustek is a great way to go, or even a new one if you want a warranty. If you also shoot medium format, I'd look for a used Epson V700 or higher; I wouldn't bother with the lower number Epson flatbeds; the resolution just isn't enough for me to make it worth the hassle of scanning.
If you already have a DSLR or other interchangeable lens camera, and especially if you already have a macro lens for it, you can also try DSLR scanning. Even if you don't have a camera, you can get set up for around $500-700 depending on what you need to buy. If I had to do it from scratch here's what I'd get.
So all in that's everything you need for DLSR scanning, and it comes to $707 plus the ongoing LR subscription. You could cut the cost a lot if you already own some of those things, or by using a cheaper 35mm holder than the Nikon ES-2, such as a 35mm-sized Digitaliza, or rigging up an older Nikon ES-1. You also don't need NLP and Lightroom; you could get away with free software like the GIMP. You might also be able to find a cheaper tripod at a yardsale or thrift store that will work fine, but they can be clunkier than modern ones.
All that is why people say "if you already have a camera" with DSLR scanning. Otherwise, why not just get a brand new Plustek 8100i AI for $490 and get about the same level of image quality for less money, or even less with a used model. So, it kind of depends on your personal situation.
Cotton Gloves. They're not nearly as annoying as wearing latex gloves to bed. I cut the finger tips off so I can use my phone.
I apply Aquaphor and these
Check this out at Amazon.com
Malcolm's Miracle MEN's XL Moisturizing Gloves - Lasts 2 years - Made in the USA (Men's) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PYZCAWW/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_PR03CbMP1T6F8 at bed time and try to wear them most of the night but usually windup taking them off at some point. Doing this makes such a big difference in the skin on my hands and I'm a dog groomer.
To add to what ApocalypseBride said, you can also buy gloves that you wear while you sleep. Cover your hands in balm/butter in a thick coat and put the gloves on and go to sleep. Gives your skin several hours to soak up all that much needed moisture.

i would worry about leaving dna more than fingerprints in your case.

Not latex or nitrile, you need something that breathes so your hands don't get sweaty.
Here's some reasonably priced Amazon ones: https://www.amazon.com/Touch-Me-Moisturizing-Gloves-Spandex/dp/B005SJAGIE/ looks like you can wash and re-use them several times
The gloves will soak up some of the lotion, but I think that's better than letting your hands get all soupy overnight in a bunch of sweaty lotion. Here are some pretty inexpensive ones.
OKeeffe's Working Hands. Use it frequently every few hours, don't skip any days. After about a week, you should see a difference. Also you can buy gloves that keeps the hands moisturized during the night.
For example: https://www.amazon.com/Cream-Cracked-Repair-Gloves-Bundle/dp/B077XQWXB4/ref=sr_1_16?crid=N4DUUDSKNH41&keywords=okeefes+working+hands&qid=1574794800&sprefix=okee%2Caps%2C407&sr=8-16
I meant if you put on gloves you’re able to put more product on and not have it get all over the place so it’s more hydrating and it absorbs slower so you’re getting it to absorb all through the night! just wrapping with gauze and medical tape and putting a shit ton of lotion/cream on under it does wonders. I have the same issue, i don’t itch at night but i always wake up with dry hands even after putting on lotion before bed, so i recently started wearing gloves on top of a bunch of lotion and my hands feel great when i wake up. The gloves are also super soft! I don’t remember where i bought mine exactly, i think it was something like TJ MAXX! They look like this!
I’m loving these rings!
Cotton Gloves
There are lots of options on there but most are 100% cotton so that’s a link to the “Amazon’s choice” - some come with up to 12 pairs or more.
My wife actually found a kit for her hands that included a really good moisturizer and gloves. I don't know if latex would be your best option. The ones in her kit reminded me of an old lady's white gloves. Probably any gloves that would prevent your bedding from wiping the moisturizer off would accomplish the same thing.
Something like this...

I bought these gel lined gloves, and I can honestly say they have helped rather quickly.
I have that Olay Complete lotion! I like it. I would suggest spritizing a hydrating mist on it for added hydration. One of my favorites is Ariul 7 Days Vitamin Mist but there are loads. I've also found adding in an oil can sometimes help too. I like jojoba oil. Jojoba oil is a powerful emollient that will soften your skin (there's research it promotes wound healing; it would be good for your hands). Most oils have strong emollient properties that would help soften your skin.
That Olay Lotion is thin; I would consider a thicker cream to put on top of it. I often layer over my lotions with Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream, because it has petrolatum in the ingredient list it acts an an occlusive that locks everything in. There are loads of creams though. Cerave has a popular cream.
For hands - seriously consider Amlactin. I've found that helps my hands a lot. Amlactin has 12% lactic acid and there's research it boosts ceramide & lipid levels in the skin and promotes wound healing.
O'Keeffes has a good hand lotion that wouldn't bust in your bag at school b/c of the packaging: https://www.amazon.com/OKeeffes-Working-Hands-Cream-ounce/dp/B00121UVU0
At night, I would really grease up your hands. Layer on Amlactin, maybe some oil like jojoba oil (optional), and a strong occlusive like Aquaphor (Aquaphor has lanolin which is more moisturing than plain Vaseline). Put on gloves, at least for a while, to make sure it all stays on your hands. Gloves like these work well
This Aveeno Baby Cream for Eczema is a moisturizing cream that acts as an occlusive and could replace Aquaphor. It's super moisturizing, I love it and have even used it on my face.
With cracked and bleeding hands you really have to up the ante for awhile. I've found that once my hands start healing using Amlactin regularly alone works well as maintenance.
Cotton gloves like these Also, another user here (can't remember who) post this study, which is rather worrying.
Try limiting your fingernail's access to your arms by wearing gloves.
I have eczema on my hands and arms (and everywhere), and scratch like crazy at night. I usually manage to take the gloves off during the night so I wear cotton gloves with a really long sock on top, that is pulled all the way up to armpit making my hand into a comfortable fist. You probably need an extra person to help get this armor on.
I didn't used to have eczema on my hands, but gloves and/or socks is still a good preventative to stop scratching damage on the rest of your body.
As my hands are very eczema-y I typically wear clean gloves almost every night. These are a solid buy if you need many pairs - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CIBQCT2/ref=sr_ph_1_s_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1484511796&sr=sr-1&keywords=cotton+gloves
You can actually buy cotton gloves for pretty cheap on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CIBQD6Y. I like to use a fresh pair at night after applying my goo (I usually take them off in my sleep but at least the goo has soaked in by then). Then I use that pair the next day, usually just on my way into work. Kinda feel like a mime, but oh well. I like that they can be washed in hot water and bleach, very important when covering open wounds. Tip: buy a size up. They shrink quite a bit when washed in hot water, but they do last through several washes. They're also nice to use under other gloves to absorb sweat.
This are only cheap cotton Gloves like this.

I just bought these and washed them to use last night for my arms and legs. They are pretty tight around my legs though. triamcinolone -> Cerave -> Aquaphor

For my hands I use cotton gloves, same moisturizers and steroid creams

Not pregnancy eczema, but I had eczema as a teen/young adult. When I had it in between my fingers it was helpful to put lotion on before bed and then wear gloves like these to lock in the moisture. Wearing the gloves also reminded me not to scratch.
I agree with /u/Ur_crumbelievable though, you should probably see a dermatologist just to be on the safe side! Skin conditions can be so many different things.
I'm pretty sure a wifi connection isn't a substitute for a medical degree.
Now, in the meantime: To help you deal with the compulsiveness try something like these. Just put them on when you get into bed or whenever you're idle and you start to pick.
They're cheap, they're not uncomfortable, and they're really lightweight, so they won't bother you if you fall asleep with them on. Just look around on there to find the right size for you.
Good luck. Hang in there. (And go see the God damn doctor.)

Have you ever thought of including hitting a table punching bag into your self-care routine?
Joking (or not) aside, what makes me look forward to self-care time is that those minutes are completely mine. Example: I do a hair mask once a week, and for it to work I have to keep it on for 10 minutes. That time is pure free-time, a space where I can keep my mind off responsibilities and just stay on my phone/read something/staring into space without it being time wasted because I'm actually using it to take care of my hair! It's just an activity that doesn't require attention.
So my advice is: buy something that takes a while to act (more than five minutes, less than fifteen/twenty) and doesn't require much thinking/preparation, but just sits there doing its thing while you relax and enjoy your "free-time". It also needs to leave you room to move and not restrict your vision or hearing if you wan to read/listen to something.
The bath bombs in your wishlist might work, but they do take longer. My advice is getting
The last two leave you with less room, but you just need to listen to podcast/audiobooks, or have everything at hand.
Vaseline helps. Also bed bath and beyond has some moisturizing gloves they sell. I'm sure they sell them online somewhere. Like this
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001BKFF76/ref=mh_s9_acsd_top_bkPnt_c_x_3_w?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=mobile-hybrid-11&pf_rd_r=5XYT4FEMH8N8JY6BT896&pf_rd_t=30901&pf_rd_p=c3e02b02-7523-501d-b4ac-e7b07ebf24e5&pf_rd_i=11062281
My dad and I both wear them in winter since our hands get so dry and cracked.
Put these on right after you apply.
Biggest downside is that you can't use touch screens.
Mine was always the worst in the shower, so I got some gloves like these to keep me from doing it. I'm not good at controlling it other times, but but that helped the worst of it.
I really like Skinfix Hand Repair cream for throughout the day. It has colloidal oatmeal & shea butter and is fragrance free. At night, I layer it under Cerave Healing Ointment and cover my hands with white cotton gloves. By morning, my hands look and feel super soft & comfortable
The products listed above should be safe for sensitive skin, but if your hands are suuuper sensitive right now, I'd suggest the same routine (cream + occlusive + gloves) using some more basic products, like Vanicream Moisturizing Cream and Vaseline
Ugh, same! And I'm a picker too, so it's like Shred City on one hand down between my thumb and index finger. I'm hoping that with summer here, the warmer weather will encourage all the picky bits to go away.
I actually just ordered a pair of these moisturizing gloves. I have a pair that have fingertips too, but they are somewhat awkward and constricting. They're a soft loofah-like material on the outside and the inside is lined with gel. You're not supposed to wear them more than 30-60 minutes, because your hands sweat.
Another thing, and this is definitely indulgent - I find that if I get my nails done on the regular, the cracks and pickable skin are less likely to "pop" out at me.
Use some Aquaphor and soft gloves when you go to bed.
My cuticles get pretty dry because I change my polish 2-3 times a week - I use pure acetone to remove the polish. I combat the dryness associated with that by using Josie Maran's Argan Balm or Vaseline Petroleum Jelly Cream Deep Moisture overnight wearing gel-lined gloves. The cream doesn't get "eaten" by the gloves so your skin stays in contact with it longer. They also make socks which are a lifesaver in summer for dry heels.
https://www.amazon.com/Hypoallergenic-Moisturizing-Cotton-Gloves-Large/dp/B00CIBQD7I/
And if you have to put cream on your arm, legs, or other places, just get some rolled gauze to cover it. I like the Band Aid brand Rolled Gauze because it sticks to itself and doesn't require additional tape.
I'm curious, doesnt this hospital have nitrile gloves? Latex gloves are sortof old fashioned because so many people have latex allergies, and I find Nitrile to be very comfortable. Definitely switch to nitrile if you can.
Unfortunately, if you have any cracks in your hands, your eczema will get worse, and the worse your eczema is, the more cracks you will have. You really need to work on healing your hands, and I suggest at night, you soak them in a vinegar and salt solution, you can google a recipe for proportions, and then pat them dry and coat them in vaseline or preferably Aquaphor healing ointment, and then put on clean cotton gloves, and go to sleep. If you do this every night, your hands just might have a chance to heal more then you damage them everyday by overwashing. Also, you can wear these cotton gloves under your latex gloves to prevent irritation. Try to wear gloves more often so you can wash your hands less, until your hands completely heal.
