What Causes Dry And Itchy Spots On The Palms?

Hi. For the past few months I have very itchy palms. When my hands are dry and I scratch the itchy spots. I can see slight white patches - small and not noticeable normally. I usually use normal hand cream - but the itching doesn't go away and is quite intense. I am a 46 year old female with no chronic medical conditions.
