A member asked:
She use to have cracked skin at the fingers. might be related to the water (impossible to avoid it since with 2 kids to look after) or to cold season? the strange is this happens also in this time. what could she do to treat that?

Hand eczema: Or dermatitis appears possible on description and among few other possible conditions. Alcohol based hand sanitizers may worsen the condition by further drying the skin. Useful information at nationaleczema.org. Ultimately a dermatologist exam will be needed in order to have a proper diagnosis and treatment plan formulated.
