Cracked hands and feet may be caused by very dry skin, eczema, or a fungal infection. Use a thick moisturiser containing urea or lactic acid regularly, and avoid harsh soaps and prolonged exposure to water. If the problem continues, see a doctor to check for any underlying skin conditions and receive appropriate treatment.
