You may have Eczema or something similar, see a dermatologist.

see a doctor they may have special medications for problems like this

I would ask your doctor if they suggest anything. Also try wash your hands excessively (like 10-15 times a day.) Additionally try wearing gloves when you go outside. Hope this helps!

have you tried products with shea butter in them?? Or any thing that is waterproof?? At night you need so really salther them up and put on white collton gloves(I know dorky you can use socks too-clean ones!!)See your hands have got to heal first.

For dry skin as bad as yours, avoid lotions that may contain alcohol. Also make sure you're washing your hands with some kind of moisturizing soap, as regular hand washing dries out skin considerably. Try Neosporin to heal the cuts that are bleeding. Petroleum jelly (like Vaseline) can really do wonders for dry hands if you apply it a few times a day. For the best results, buy some moisturizing gloves that are designed for healing dry skin. Some come with moisturizers, so you can just slip them on. Others are just ordinary gloves, but if you apply petroleum jelly before putting them on you'll accomplish the same thing. Wear them at night while you sleep or whenever you're just sitting around. It will make a huge difference.

Hey try wearing gloves..this could protect your hands from the cold, which causes your dry skin. I had that problem a couple years ago and its a definate bitch. Lotion helps..but so does coco butter..its soothing. Your hands will get better soon!!
