We actually were talking about petroleum based creams and lotions the other day. Father-in-law was talking about a friend of his that they didn't think about it and put some one their grandchild and the child was instantly screaming so yeah I totally understand now at least in respects to hand sensitivity.It probably doesn't help that I have sensitive skin so petroleum or cream bases in Neosporin end up being something else my wound has to deal with too. One time I put Neo on a scratched insect bite and it ended up giving me a dermatitis rash.
I didn't specify but I was comparing my wounds treated with a hand wash then Neo vs a handwash then holding the cut directly under running water for a minute or two.
During the winter my favorite lotion is actually Vaseline Intensive Care Deep Moisture which is 30% petrolatum/petroleum jelly which works really well for my hands as they are prone to being icky dry from the winter and hand washing but that sounds like that would be awful for you!
