Answers:
You should see a dermatologist. I had this issue too and the cracked skin actually poses a huge infection threat! And after I saw my Dr. they found out that I am allergic to half of the creams that Iwas putting on my hands! So yeah, see a skin doc hopefully they can help :)Health Question & Answer

sounds like something you are doing is drying the skin ie washing your hands or gardening. If you can, wear gloves when working to reduce exposure to soil or chemicals etc. At night, cover your clean hands in a layer of vaseline and put on cotton gloves.. do this a few nights and i think your hands will start to recover. also, put a little sudocrem on any cracked and bleeding areas to help healing and prevent infection. Lastly, have you tried neutrogena hand cream.? works wonders i thinkHealth Question & Answer

I get dry knuckles every winter. I've tried numerous lotions, creams, oils, you name it. Organic, preservative, what not.

Here's something that worked for me: Cortaid Lotion. I found it at walmart, but there are stronger types in drug stores and Walgreens, anywhere a pharmacy is I suppose.

also, try using Carmex (or any strong Chap stick)! Seriously, it works for chapped lips, why not dry skin.? Works for me!Health Question & Answer

i find a lot of hand creams make my hands worse
i pour a dessertspoon of vegetable oil into the palm of my hand
then a shallow teaspoon of sugar and rub your hands together gently
its best to do it over the sink cos its a bit messy
also avoid washing up without using marigold (or similar) gloves on as
detergents can make your hands really sore
