Hi there...
Thanks for the pic but will advice some more clearer pics taken indoors sans ☀️ glare.
Will require a much more in-depth assessment and history to give you a clear management plan.
But, it doesn't appear to be a serious issue.
However these things tend to get aggravated if not attended to at the earliest.
Suggest an INSTANT ONLINE Consultation to help us resolve this quickly and give you a clear cut action plan 🙏

Dry, rough and darkened hands are commonly due to frequent washing, harsh soaps, detergent exposure or sun exposure. He should switch to a mild cleanser, apply a thick moisturizer after every wash, and use coconut oil or aloe vera at night. Wearing protective gloves during work also helps. If the condition persists or worsens, a proper skin evaluation is recommended. You may visit our clinic for detailed assessment and personalised treatment.
