Hello ma'am, when did you first notice this? Have you done anything about this problem?
Are you able to upload some well-lit images of the affected area?

Thanks for the information, I'm sorry for the delay I did not see the notification!
The basis of the treatment will be moisturizing the skin with a fragrance free moisturizer like Aveeno,Base Glaxal, Cerave or even with a more oily agent like Aquaphor or Vaseline, as often as needed during the day and especially after washing hands, before and after going out.
I suggest using a fragrance-free soap like Dove and lightly patting the skin dry instead of rubbing and applying moisturizer quickly after.
Protect your hands when going out even if it's a short trip.
Wear gloves when handling detergents, or washing dishes for example.
If the situation persists for more than 7 days without improvement with these measures, you should consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation of your condition.
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
