Hi

You seem to have developed contact eczema over hands .
This can present with excessive skin dryness leading to cuts and pain.
You need to keep your hands moisturised by regular application of a good moisturiser or oil .
Use s potent steroid cream like clobetasol over the eczematous areas for rapid healing.
