I hope this helps! The link, above, is for the small size, but you can search for large size, as well. I find that the gloves stretch a lot with wear. I rewash them in a lingerie bag in my washing machine and air dry them so they don’t shrink.

I can’t speak to the cause of your skin sensitivity. Scleroderma is just one possible cause. I encourage you to get a physician’s assessment. But these thin white cotton gloves do help, and you can use them with smart phones or mouse pads.

And…the humiliated housewife is none other than a very young Diane Keaton!

Thanks, Kathy! My grandmothers were elegant ladies, too. I always admired their style.

Those gloves sound very elegant! When it comes to clothes, I should have lived in the ’30s.

The good news is, in spite of a two-day business trip to Manhattan this week, I am without bandages today! Still have to be very careful, but it sure is nice. Typing with my finger cots on right now. I also picked up some hand lotion with paraffin from Bath & Body Works, which is slippery to wear during the day but does a good job of healing. Best so far is Eucerin’s extra intensive hand cream.

On a lighter note, I too remember the days when getting dressed up meant donning gloves. Does anyone else remember the elbow-length gloves worn with prom dresses? I might still have mine somewhere; very difficult to get on, they buttoned up with pearl buttons.

I also remember a shorty cotton glove regimen enforced by my mother–moisturizer applied first, then the gloves before sleep–not to heal terrible ulcers but just to give us nice lady hands. I should start doing that again. I don’t have scleroderma, but my cuticles get dry and split once the weather turns very cold and the humidity in the house drops.
