Hello. Thanks for the responses. I went to my rheumy a couple of weeks ago and she said it was dry skin. She also diagnosed me with Sjogren's Syndrome because the anti Ro antibody showed up on a blood test. I also have dry,eyes, nose, and mouth, along with joint pain with swelling in my ankles. She started me on Planquenil, which seemed to help a little with the dryness on my hands. Anyway, thanks again for the responses. I really appreciate it.
