Glycolic  acid peels on sensitive skin such as your hands is a bad idea. you need moisturizers not peeling agents.  At bedtime soak your hands in warm water and apply Vaseiline and then put on gloves and overnight your hands will be better

Thank you for your question.  It depends on the strength of the glycolic acid.  Every skin type is different and you should consult with your physician before using this product. Best Wishes!

You should not be putting acid on your skin at home. You probably have a dermatologist since you have a prescription for Efudex so see him to get a proper treatment for whatever the problem is on your hands
