Im 21 years old, female, I Just moved from California where I lived for 3 years back to Michigan in the middle of winter, I moved back in November of 2009. About 3 weeks ago the skin on my right palm starting peeling, its now moved to all but my pointer finger on my right hand, the peeling/cracking starts at my fingernail and stops at the first crease of my fingers, more less where your fingerprints are 
its also spread to my left hand but not as bad, its all but my pointer finger on my left hand, same deal with the right but its not on my palm. I haven't tried any new lotions, new foods, or anything new that would make my skin react this way. I have tired numerous things and its not getting better. I have tried corn huskers lotion, cortizone 10, and anti itch lotion. Today I went to the local pharmacy and asked he looked at my hands and he told me that it looked like ringworm, I looked up ringworm and my hands look nothing like the pictures i saw, but he sent me home with Miconazole Nitrate Cream (Antifungal cream for athletes foot). If you have any suggestions please let me know, also we do have hard water here, but the water has never irritated my skin before, I lived in Michigan for 17 years born n raised same house, then moved to California for about 3 years and then moved back. I don't know my hands really hurt tho, please if anyone knows anything help me out thanks, Also I have never had this problem with my hand peeling and cracking this way, this is the first time and its pretty severe. I have no insurance and im not doing anything new outside of my normal activitys.
