A member asked:

How to cure extremely dry, cracked, peeling, red hands?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

?allergy: Take a good look at what you are coming in contact with during your day. Obviously avoid anything that irritates your hands. And you always need to wonder if you are allergic to something. You may need to see a dermatologist for allergy patch testing.
