Hand cracks are frequently brought on by extremely dry skin, frequent washing, exposure to chemicals, or eczema. Wear gloves when performing damp tasks and apply a thick moisturizer or petroleum jelly multiple times a day, particularly after washing. See a doctor since you could require medicinal creams if the cracks are deep, bleeding, or not healing.

It sounds uncomfortable to have cracked, hard, itchy skin on your hands that sometimes bleeds. This could be due to dry skin, eczema, or another skin condition causing inflammation and irritation.

  • Using a prescribed topical ointment like Tenovate (which contains a corticosteroid) may help reduce inflammation and itching, but it should be used under a doctor’s guidance.
  • Keep your hands moisturized frequently with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to help prevent further cracking.
  • Avoid harsh soaps or prolonged exposure to water, which can worsen dryness and irritation.

If the symptoms persist, worsen, or if bleeding is frequent, it’s important to see a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment.
