Suggest A Remedy For Red, Inflammed, Dry And Painful Skin On Hands

Yes my hands are very red, inflamed and painful. The redness goes up the outsides of my wrist. It looks horrible, but not really looking like it's in the joints. I also have very deep cuts on my fingers around the tops of the nails, that take time to heal because they are so deep and my skin is very dry. The pain is on the skin part, but also deep in my hands, starting to really hurt my thumbs and palms of thumbs.
