I'm not sure if dry skin co-occurs with AS sufferers a lot (though psoriasis is one condition which seems to affect AS-ers a fair bit) but I've always seemed to have problems with cracked skin, not just on my hands, but most of my body. As yet, I've not found a miracle cure, but, after trawling through hundreds of dubious cider vinegar recipes on the internet, I have found some things which worked for my horrible dry scalp.
On the recommendation of my GP, I bought one bottle of Neutrogena Coal Tar shampoo and one bottle of Nizoral shampoo from Boots, and have been alternating using them over the past two months or so... to my surprise, this is one time when my GP was dead on the money, and my dry scalp has almost completely cleared up.
If buying Nizoral, see if you can get it on prescription because it retails for nearly a tenner, and even if you have to pay for your prescriptions, it will be around £2 cheaper.
