Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Hyperlinearity (lines in the palm and fingers) of palms is a feature of a condition called atopic dermatitis. These patients, in general have dry skin in their palms, soles and elsewhere as well.

I would suggest you to use a moisturizer twice daily upon the dry areas.

Especially those moisturizers which contain Urea or Ammonium lactate or Glycolic acid.
