Did your buddy actually trust that note?

I had the same thing happen with the sweaty hands and itchiness. My mother-in-law swore by those thick blue gloves and I used them for years until I noticed my knuckles were always cracked and sore. Once I stopped, the redness cleared up in about a week. Now I just use the cheap dish soap and a little lotion after, and my hands stay happy. It is strange how something meant to protect you ends up causing more trouble.
