Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have dry and cracked hands after cooking and cleansing . Well the symptoms you mention in query are probably occurring due to Contact Dermatitis or eczema . Repeated exposure to irritants such as water, soaps, detergents and solvents is responsible for such condition . I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order patch test . Doctor may prescribe topical corticosteroid ( Prednisone ) or retinoids . For now do not expose your hands to above mention material , apply some moisturizer and take anti histamine drug like benadryl .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
