Dry skin: this is probably eczema from skin dryness. Appply daily vaseline twice a day and avoid frequent contact with water. If washing dishes use gloves. Hot water is dterimental too. You may need a steroid cream if the rash persists.

Bumps on back of hands and fingers. Itchy sometimes, other times not. Bumps are skin coloured--no redness. The itch is almost a burning sensation.
