I have really bad dry skin on my hands. Part looks like excema, with dry, small, round bumps. Between two of my fingers is a red, dry, and dried up (was bleeding) area. My knuckles are extremely dry and cracked. It is really painful and has been unsightly and ugly for a couple of weeks now. I'm willing to try pretty much anything. Thanks :)

Get some Eucerin from a drug store. It is an awesome cream. You probably should make an appointment with a dermatologist to get some medicated ointment too.

My hands are exactly the same way right now. It is very uncomfortable and ugly! It's excema and it is flaring up because your skin is too dry. Eucerin Calming Cream helps a lot. Also steer clear of hand lotions with perfumes or dyes in them.

Oh dear!
See a dermatologist if you can.
My husband has- or had- a problem similar to yours. Keep lots of lotion around. Also, check your local health food store: I found an oil in one here that is great for dry skin. And drink water so you can hydrate your skin from the inside out.
good luck!

You get aloe Vera gel and mix some vitamin e , into it, and mix it, and KEEP it on your hands, is what you do,It will take about a week.to heal your skin completely you buy Vitamin E capsules and squeeze the oil out, don't get juice, get GEL..Aloe Vera.
Did you not hear me? I SAID get some of that mixed.and put it on your skin, RIGHT NOW and it will heal you,OK?
NO LOTIONS. unless Its completely natural.

if you wash your hands a lot, stop washing them so much. use lotion. vaseline has a lotion out and it's AMAZING and not too costly.
oh! also, at night before you go to bed, rub vaseline [not the lotion, the actual stuff] all over your hands and then put on gloves. works wonders. :D

Try soaking them in an oatmeal bath, you can find Aveno oatmeal soak in the baby care aile of the grocery store, I would have your doctor check it out is it is not clearing up.

See a dermatologist. Neosporin might heal the cracks.
