My four year old son's hands did the same thing! It was like a month ago. It kept getting worse, so I took him to the pediatrician. He gave us some prescription strength hydrocortisone cream and some anti-fungal cream. After a few days it cleared up. Don't know what caused it, but it went away. Good luck!

I had a friend in high school with the same problem. It was caused by stress. He needs to see a dermatologist. Even alleviating the stress may still have a break-out on the hands.

vitamin deficiancy? does he take any? is he washing his hands too much? Did you change detergents, etc? Without more information those are just a few I can think of on the top of my head.

Neosporin works really well on dry skin.
