Flaky skin

2023-01-07 07:39:27

Asked for Male, 25 Years

I've attached pics of both my hands. Everyday I wake up and the skin here is flaky, completely flaky. Sometimes it does happen with thighs too. I'm not sure why it is happening. The rest of the hand and legs have simply become dry due to the cold so I'm using some moisturizers but the skin here is always different. Is it psoriasis or something?
