A member asked:
My knuckles and fingers started getting red and dry a few years, especially in the winter. is this this just dry hands or something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds like my hands: This sounds like dry skin. The best thing to do is to apply good quality hand lotion frequently, and wear gloves when you are outside. Also be sure to wear gloves if you wash dishes. Arthritis symptoms include pain and stiffness, but what you are describing sounds like dry, chapped skin. The same thing happens to me every winter!
