I used to have the same problem. Tough as I needed in the spring summer and fall, but in the winter the skin across my knuckles would get dry, turn whiter, and crack, and bleed. Just a matter of the drier winter air was my conclusion. An almost related statistic: Lip chap sales are 600% higher in the winter.
Nothing I could do about it, I tried creams/mosturizer but all that did was soften everything up and make it worse.
Never really got into wrapping, it didn't lend itself to the style even as a protective training practice. Tried it a couple times, but the sifu frowned upon the idea. Might be an option.
