When only the finger joints are rough and dry, is there anything else to check besides hand cream?

Scheduled branch to visit: Maypure Bucheon Branch

When my hands are dry in late autumn, if the finger joints look particularly rough compared to the back of my hands, what areas should I check? Since hands are constantly washed and used, I worry that they might dry out quickly even after moisturizing. I would like to consult on whether simply applying hand cream more frequently is sufficient for managing this condition.

Would it be helpful if I specifically mentioned the pulling sensation in the skin when bending the knuckles and the white flaking skin on the surface? If there are any red areas or small cracks, I would also like to note their location and duration. I am also wondering if you check the entire hand together if the condition of the palm, back of the hand, and between the fingers differs.

Do you also look into the frequency of hand washing and the types of hand sanitizers used during the consultation? Rather than trying to pinpoint a specific product as the cause, I would like to organize the items my hands come into contact with throughout the day. If there is a difference between days when I use water frequently and days when I do not, would it be helpful to mention that as well? I am also wondering if the time and type of gloves I use are necessary information.

It is easy to choose moisturizers based solely on scent or stickiness, but I would like to know what factors I should prioritize when I have uncomfortable skin. If I experience stinging immediately after application or discomfort only in my joints, would it be advisable to consult a doctor before switching products? Rather than switching between various products, I would like to record the products I have used and my reactions so that I can receive a consultation.

I would like to ask if applying a thick layer at night and wearing gloves is appropriate depending on my skin condition. Rather than assuming that heavy moisturizing is always good, I think we should also consider situations where the skin feels stuffy or humid. I am also wondering if I should mention my habit of smoothing the rough skin around my nails.

Should I judge the progress of the care based solely on how smooth the surface becomes? It would be helpful to record how much easier it is to bend my hand and how much the discomfort lasts after washing. If the problem persists even after changing my basic care routine, I would also like to know when I should see a doctor again and if there are any additional things that need to be checked.

I would like to inquire if a consultation is available at the Bucheon branch regarding the dryness and roughness of my finger joints. Please let me know if I can apply hand cream on the day of my visit, and if it would be helpful to bring photos showing the condition of my hands. My hands are seen just as often as my face, yet it seems easy to put off taking care of them until later. This time, before buying more products, I would like to verify if my current care routine is correct first.
