My fingers were covered with red spots and little cuts that would not heal. The dermatologist gave me a cream but he said it would not work until I wear rubber gloves. But the most important, he said, is to wear cotton gloves inside the rubber gloves, so the skin is not in contact with the rubber. I made them cutting an old cotton T shirt. It really works for me.

Mine would crack too but not as bad as hers. My mom tried everything from lotions to Orsa clay, nothing helped much. We got an herb preparation book from Debra Nuzzi and she has a Winter Hand Cream recipe that we now make every winter and it helps beyond description! Its so worth it.

I am a groomer & always have my hands in water & shampoo, then the dryer I use doesn't help either. I have been experimenting with different things also. My hands crack so badly that they bleed whenever I even grab anything. I tried neosporin when my hands were so sore & cracked, it really didn't work like I thought it would. However I have always used Aquaphor on my daughters face at night & it always worked. So I thought what the heck & gave it a try. I am sold on it! I won't use anything else when they get really bad. Anyway I just wanted to chime in on my experience with Aquaphor, definately the best for extreme dry, cracked hands. I too have the same problem.

Pharmacist formulated and even works on radiation burns and sunburns. MDs are even recommending it to their diabetic patients to us on their dry scaly legs and feet. We recommend this to all of our patients. Outdoor Hands Intense Skin Therapy is probably the best up and coming product for dry, cracked skin and lips.

I love, love, love Aveda Hand Relief. I use it at night but it's also great for the daytime - it isn't overly greasy, and WORKS. It seems to rub in really well and stay on skin fairly well, even after a handwashing.

It comes in a square green tin. Depending on where you live, CVS carries it. You can also order it from drugstore.com. It is greasy like vaseline, but works wonders for dry hands, heels and is the only thing we use for diaper rash. I love Vermont’s original BAG BALM. It comes in a square green tin.

I make my own cream formula and use it year round...all over the body but sparingly on my face. It's very thick and wonderfully emollient. Drop me a line if you are interested. It also promotes nail growth. Has no artificial chemicals. soapynurse@comcast.net I suffer from the dreaded cracked heel syndrome.

It works, and you can still touch things without making them greasy! At night I sometimes slather on good old Bag Balm, in the green square tin. I also LOVE the Neutrogena Norweigan formula.

It is a breathable mask that you roll on at night and wash off in the morning. My hands were really chapped and I tried everything with little to no relief. My mom gave me this product and within 2 days of using it my hands were baby soft and have stayed that way! It works from the inside out to lock in your body's natural moisture and it really works! It is great for dry skin, wrinkles, acne and even scars. I can't live without it now!
