Hi

This may not be something serious. Lines on the skin may appear after prolonged sun exposure, application of abrasive chemicals and also when one is dehydrated. Apply a light moisturizer such as vitamin E cream over the area. Drink plenty of water and avoid prolonged sun exposure. When washing the hands, use only a mild cleanser such as Cetaphil. Just continue to observe the skin condition. At this point, there is nothing to be very worried about.
