What Causes Extreme Dryness Of Hands?
the end of my fingers and palm of my hands are extremely dry. There is white flaking areas and along the outside palm of my hands they have visible cracks. My palms seem to be wrinkled as well. I did have my nails painted but no artificial nails were put on. No lotion has relieved the dryness.

hi,
drying of the skin occurs due to lack if melanin secretion. Melanin is a natural oil excreted through the excretory glands. due to the environmental factors and the chemical used for the skin may damage the duct.
for this - first dip the hands in the normal room temperature water. also in a day try performing regular physical exercises which will help improve the metabolism and allow the excretory glands to function again. by this your cracks and dry skin issue with come down.
also , oxygen is a natural energy source of the cellular functioning. By performing regular breathing exercises the metabolism will boost and the scaling of the nails will be reduced. as it is controlled directly by the physiology of the human cells. I have personally tired this on my old age patients and in 2-3 weeks of time I have found optimum results.
with the grace of god I wish you a good health
