Extreme Dry Skin Patches
Some parts of the skin of back of my both hands have gradually started becoming Extreme dry in Patches. From Nuckle to folds between fingers till finger nuckles. (pics attached)
It started from some area of few fingers and now its on back of both hands. Not itchy, just dry like sandpaper. Oil/lotion temp makes it. Look smooth/improved but looks dry again after hand wash.
