It can be because of dermatitis/ eczema or allergy or dryness or fungal infection or psoaiasis etc. I need details of case n preferably pics of affected area. In the meanwhile follow this moisturize frequently. Avoid sudden changes in temperature or humidity. Avoid sweating or overheating. Reduce stress. Avoid scratchy materials, such as wool directly in contact with skin. Avoid harsh soaps, detergents, and solvents. Be aware of any foods that may cause an outbreak and avoid those foods. For this homeopathic treatment is very effective for more details you can consult me.

Moisturizer should be applied on damp skin immediately after washing hands or sanitizing.

Hii, dryness of hands along with peeling of skin may be due to causes like eczema or keratolysis exfoiativa. Also excessive handwashing, exposure to chemicals, sanitizer allergy may cause excessive dryness & itching. Cotaryl cream (urea based moisturizer) twice dailly should ideally help in this condition. However for proper diagnose and treatment you must consult a dermatologist online or offline. I guess we would need to add a few more oral or topical medicines for better management of your condition.

Do not use sanitizer use normal glycerine soaps.

The symptoms you describe can be due to dermatitis, but examination or photographs will be beneficial in case of diagnosis. Avoid harsh soaps, use a good moisturizer for your hands. Homoeopathic constitutional treatment will be beneficial in skin conditions.
