Eczema or what

2022-01-31 16:35:21
I have been suffering from dryness on my hands(only) since 3-4 years now. My father has same problem on his hands n feets. The skin starts to dry first, then gets darker n then cuts n bleeding. I use calcipotriol but since this winter, it has stopped helping me at all. Kindly suggest what to do. Whenever I wash my hands, it gets worse.
