I am a 53 yr old female. I have been suffering from this condition for a lot of years. Have been using creams like betadine and clop-m but the cuts and craks on my palm and fingers never heal. Not sure if I'm am allergic to something. While cooking when picking spices they go into the cuts and it burns. I use vim bar soap and circular silver scrubber to wash the utensils. Sometimes the cuts starts itching so much that I have to pinch them then after which I feel fine. The cuts at first are hard then they become dry and cracked. I am sure it is not dry skin. Have attached pics of the fingers. I suffer this condition only on 1 hand. Other hand is fine. It would be helpful if you could help me identify this condition so that I can diagnose properly.
