well air is dryer in the winter and we usually wash our hands more often. that causes amazing dryness. i have a couple of suggestions for you. before bed and before you put your gloves on break (or bite) open a regular vitamin e capsule. put a little oil on each of the hurt places. it does a lot to help healing. works for cracked lips too. my other thing to do is always make sure you dry your hands off very thoroughly when you wash them. why is that? because leaving hands damp actually wicks more moisture out of them. so dry them really well and you will have less of that problem. good luck!
in the winter dry hands that split at the tips why? . i have terrible hands in the winter months summer they are fine. the fingers around the nail cracks open and its like a small cut having to type at work i have to put band aids on each finger and its so painful. sleep at night with gloves lotion neosporin etc nothing seems like its getting worse. any suggestions please! i do have a low thyroid but have been on regular meds for a longtime so its at normal levels. thanks gail of cincinnati ohio
