Hi
From the description, it looks like you have contact eczema over the hands.
This is basically a type of eczema which is chronic and recurrent in most people.
I would like to have a look at the exact skin condition. Please click some close up pictures of the affected area and upload them here on this page.
Also please tell what job you do. Do you have any frequent contact with any chemicals or things on plastic or rubber.
I am sure I will be able to help you better once I have a look at the exact skin lesions.
