Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I have taken note of your query and I hope to answer it well.
You seem to have extreme dryness of skin of palms manifesting as peeling of skin.
You may mix an equal amount of a topical steroid cream e.g clobetasol propionate 0.05% cream along with your moisturizer and apply twice daily, for 2 weeks.
Thereafter you may continue just with the moisturizer.
Soaps also cause dryness of skin of palms. Therefore I suggest you to apply a moisturizer every time after washing hands with soaps.
