What do you call this medical condition?
Every november, my hands get so dry that they crack and bleed. This has been happening since i was a freshman in college. I'm 26 now. Someone told me that it's most likely an endocrine condition and i should go to a doctor. I already know i have relatively low T, but idk how hormones could possibly be related to dry skin.
Thoughts?

For hands:Use lotion.
For low T: Maca powder and Tongcat Ali plus Fadogia Agrestis supplements.
And just get used to increasing maintenance as you age.

I do use lotion. it's not enough. idk what you mean by increasing maintenance as I age. for my skin in particular or are you talking about testosterone? my skin problem I've been having since i was 17-18. age isn't a factor.

This happens to me since childhood and if I apply hand cream it goes away.

Skin fissures without discoloration are usually environmental issues (exposure to harsh chemicals, etc) or dietary deficiencies. Sometimes side effect of medications.

You need oil. Lotion and moisturizer will add water to your dry skin, but oil is what locks the moisture in all day long and protects the skin. If your skin is naturally not producing enough oil, then add some. You don't need a lot of oil. A few drops of apricot, coconut, or even olive oil in the palm of 1 hand mixed with a few drops of water to thin it out and help spread the oil around. Rub it into both hands, wait for the water to air dry and meanwhile your skin will soak up the oil. They'll be protected from drying all day.

there is a lot of discoloration. i'm a little brown so it's hard to see in the photo. the back of my hand is red from how dry and cracked the skin is.

I had this problem. The only thing that worked for me is an extremely thick ointment like Vaseline or Aquaphor, and cotton gloves. I prefer Aquaphor. It's the ultimate moisturizer and ordinary lotions are only 1/100th as good at actually moisturizing your skin. Unfortunately you can't use it as a hand cream because it will coat everything you touch with grease.
At night, smear hands liberally with Aquaphor. I'm talking a huge amount. Your hands will feel like you stuck them in a jar of crisco. Then put on the cotton gloves, and go to bed. Wake up the next day, remove the gloves, wash the remaining ointment off of your hands. They sell disposable cotton gloves made for this regiment on Ama*on.
