Skin in Backside of Hand is dry and seems like i have cuts without even knowing it, is it cold weather?

Cold + dry + working with dry material like paper, fabric, grain, plaster, cement will give you what girls call dishpan hands - bad enough to look like little cuts in the skin. Try washing your hands gently in warm water - not hot , dry them, then slather them with petroleum jelly like Vaseline. Wipe off the excess gently with a tissue or soft cloth. If your environment is causing the redness, this should do the trick. If not, you need to see a dermatologist. Two other products work pretty well also - Bag Balm and Udder Cream. Another product that doesn't smell too girly is rosewater and glycerine. In PA we have weather like what the Browns and Steelers played in today a lot of the winter and it really beats the skin raw. I hope this helps.
