Hi
Moitsurex and Tenovate-M should not be used for prolonged time. It seems that you may be getting fungal infections of the skin of the palms. You can try over the counter antifungal creams for some time. Avoid sweating of palms by using a deoderant. Do not wet your hands often to avoid the dryness, it may exacerbate the dryness. Oil based creams can be tried for prolonged use, especially if these have vitamin C, E. Take lot of fruits.
