Causes for persistent skin dryness, cracks & bleeding?
-
For several years, the skin on my hands periodically becomes degraded: the back of the palm gets very dry, the side of the fingers becomes irritated/red, and I get skin cracks on either side of the nails, on all fingers. I used to think this was due to some combination of cold weather and stress, but I'm beginning to doubt that. This condition backs off when I apply skin moisturizer, but it keeps coming back regularly. Is this cause for concern?

@aditi Sounds like a form of eczema...is there a reason you cannot see a specialist?
