Broken skin on forefingers

Would anyone know what this could be? I got it after my first pregnancy and now after my second it's got a bit worse and is now also on the other hand.

Could it be caused by a vitamin deficit or something like that? It's only on my forefingers though which is a bit strange.

A bit difficult to tell from the pic but could they be chillblains?

I hadn't thought of that. My first pregnancy ended in summer though when it first appeared so I wouldn't have thought so.

It's like scaly, dry and slightly itchy skin. It's recently started to crack on my left hand. No amount of hand cream helps!

Herpetic whitlow?

@NuclearDH Hmm I've just googled that. I don't have any blisters forming first. Just dry itchy skin.
