For the past 9 months, I have had dry fingertips, mostly on my right hand. Only my right index finger and thumb seem unaffected by this dryness. My left ring finger is the worst. My fingertips generally feel dry and look shriveled/wrinkled as if they have been submerged in water.Unless I have been applying lotion regulary, the skin feels sort of tough. They are pretty much fine in the morning when I wake up and get more dry and wrinkly after I start cleaning (I have a baby and two other children) and using water. They feel the best when I am outside in the humidity and when I put lotion on them. They aren't cracked but have some tiny indents that never seem to go away, probably from chronic dryness. What is causing this and will it ever go away? I am wondering if they just aren't prespiring or secreting oils as they should.
