What does it mean if the top of my hands feel like sand paper and is red and blotchy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irritation to area: It is most likely due to dryness or other irritations to the area. Frequent hand washings can dry out the skin as well as contacting irritant such as soap, cleaners, etc. Moisturize the skin frequently. But be aware that some moisturizers can also irritant sensitive skin.
