Ps. Now doubts about my shahadah before doing ghusl. I tried my best. I did it to make sure 100% I
Was Muslim. Now I know as long as you said the shahadah to the best of your ability, you are fine. But I had some 'blocky' feelings I ignored. My question is - is my / was my shahadah accepted cuz I can't control what enters my brain or what I feel..

Salaam friend,
do not worry too much about your thought. Like you said yourself, you cannot control them. Often, the Shaytaan has more control over your thoughts than yourself.
you will not get discredit for having a bad thought...just don't act on it.
you spoke out your niyet "I intend to do fardh ghusl for the sake of Allah, Bismillah" and did Gusl as best as you could...which should be valid.
if later you remember for sure you forgot a crucial part of it like washing mouth, nose or some other bodypart, then of course it is no longer valid...but other than that...do not worry.
about dry hands I do not know the answer on that...normally, if you cannot do wudhu because of an open wound somewhere you need to wash, it is sufficient to just mesh that area...like you do with your head...but hands...you need your hands to do wudhu at all...so that I dont know...
maybe to use gloves and just mesh your hands...but that is not practical.
moisturizing creme perhaps?
