I'm having problems with my hands i've been getting these red like round ovel shaped dry patches on the sides, between my fingers and on my finger's ?

Difficult to say: Its difficult to comment without being able to see the lesions is person. Oval shaped patches are suspicious for a fungal etiology, alternatively eczema or very dry skin could present similarly.
