Bullshit Mountain alert!

Did you know that Dove's so-called hypo-allergenic soap for sensitive skin can actually cause hand dermatitis, which is severely dry,itchy and/or cracking skin? I found out about this irony the hard way! Apparently the moisturizing cream contains perfumes that will dryer hands out and/or cause skin irritation. Use of word "hypoallergenic," is totally unregulated by the FDA, (similar to "natural" products) so manufactures get to use it for pretty much whatever they want. My PCP said to just use good old cheap Dove or Dial "White" bar soap. Dermatitis can also be caused by excessive handwashing which reaches that natural oils out of your skin, or by exposure to chemicals such as gasoline or anything else and an automotive shop, as well as strong dish soap, and certainly by a combination of all of these factors, as well as dry weather.
