My hands get extremely dry and cracked every winter, so I'm contacting you about this. It's not just rough, but also cracks form on my knuckles and palms. In severe cases, the cracks sting or bleed slightly. Because my job involves frequent water use, I apply hand cream frequently, and I even apply a thick layer at night and wear cotton gloves to sleep. However, I don't see any significant improvement. I'm wondering if I should exfoliate, and I'm also worried that it might actually irritate my skin. I'm wondering if the winter cracks are simply due to dryness, or if my skin barrier is severely damaged. Could you advise me on how I should change my moisturizer or skin care routine, and whether I should seek medical attention?
