Brief Answer:
Seems to be eczema, apply topical steroid like clobetasol propionate cream

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photographs and it seems to be eczema.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like clobetasol propionate cream on the affected areas twice daily along with frequent and liberal application of a moisturising cream on the entire hand for 2 weeks.
This should resolve it.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
