Dr. Roger Khouri, Plastic Surgeon with Baptist Health South Florida, explains the hands are radiators, which is how we lose heat or how we preserve heat. He says the hand has a tremendous phase of control of the circulation, and that is probably one of the effects of having dry hands. He also explains they treat people with smoothed hands (hyperhidrosis) with Botox injections.
