The skin is dry: If the skin is cracked it is dry. There are various causes of this. One to consider is athlete's foot. It can easily spread to the hands via contact. When this skin is dry, it cannot stretch where there is motion. Water from bathing also tends to collect in these areas and can exacerbate the condition.
