Excess Dryness and crack on finger

2017-09-27 11:24:44
Since few months I am observing that the middle finger in my right hand is continuously getting excessively so dry that it cracks the skin open. Can you please let me know what could help me. Also this has started on the big toe or hallox now. Attached the pics for reference.
