This may be a case of eczema, a fungal infection or psoriasis. This has been present for years and it has not improved with the medications.

I need some serious help! I was told that I might have pustular psoriasis on the palms of my hands, but it started months ago and it doesn't seem to be clearing up. The palms of my hands get so itchy and get little blisters on them, then they dry up and crack and peel. They hurt so bad. My hands feel like they have super glue all over them. Then when I move my hand it cracks and bleeds. I don't know what to do anymore. Anything I put on doesn't help.
T cells are a type of white blood cell that usually protects the body against infection. In psoriasis, the T cells wrongly attack body’s skin cells instead of bacteria and viruses.

In cases such as these, topical medications may no longer be effective. I suggest that you discuss with your mother’s physician the effectiveness of PUVA for treating psoriasis especially in severe forms. "PUVA is an acronym for psoralen (a light-sensitizing medication) combined with exposure to ultraviolet light A (UVA). "

Also get a biopsy skin to rule out psoriasis. Psoriasis is a long-term (chronic) skin problem that causes skin cells to grow too quickly, resulting in thick, white, silvery, or red patches of skin.It is thought that psoriasis occurs when the immune system overreacts, causing inflammation and flaking of skin.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Also, there’s a significant history of psoriasis in the family. All these may suggest that this is likely a chronic inflammatory condition. Chronic inflammatory conditions may involve a fungal infection, dermatitis and psoriasis. A microscopic evaluation of the scales from the area may help determine if a fungal infection is likely here. This would be a first step towards management. Once an infectious process is ruled out here, then psoriasis may be likely differential.
