Hi everyone,

I have a long-standing issue with OCD. A few times a year I have handwashing binges.

The past few days I applied Vaseline nourishing moisturizer before bed.

When I wake up in the morning, the open cracks seem to be closing up as shown in the pics.

However, if I continue excessive handwashing, the cracks reopen.

Is this how Vaseline is supposed to heal the cracked skin?

Also, what is the yellowish stuff towards my wrist? Would that be going away once I ease up on the handwashing?

Any input would be appreciated

Thank you so much!!
