Dry, Cracked Fingers ??

What are your best suggestions for cracked fingers this time of year ? My GO-TO O'Keeffe's has let me down this season Confused

. Have any of you had luck with Udder/Bag Balm ?? Thanks

This is the product I use. https://www.cerave.com/skincare/moisturizers/moisturizing-cream

Drink more water.
If the cracks are at the corners of the fingernails, rub Carmex into the cracks.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

I thought your problem was with your fingers ?

Try wrapping the beer can with a paper towel, so the condensation doesn't keep your fingers wet! Wink

i've used Corn husker lotion, bag balm, vaseline, Blue Emu, and others, all work about the same, it's best to start using anything before the cracks appear. the vitamin D thing is right on! so is drinking more water. the Vaseline (for men)has a good smell to it.

I just cant help it... FreeGas deserves everything he gets.. and he ASKS for it daily ! Hug

Like them all, but love the "B"s.

Being a former avid listener of Paul Harvey, I tried Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Creme and have used nothing else since. At the very worst it took 3 days of 2 applications a day to get my hands repaired. Like he said, if it will work for dry cracked hands of Norwegian fisherman, it'll do wonders for you.

Good Day

Maximum use of available resources!

Well then.

I go to the dermatologist every 6 months because I have stage 3 melanoma. She is about 5'2" #125 about 40, blond and a nice smile and blue eyes.

She will ask if I have any concerns, yeah maybe, better check me over. She will say here is the gown, you know the drill. NOTHING goes unchecked. Imagining dipping out a septic take with a 5 gallon bucket. Gotta do what you have

to stay focused, although I have never scooped t**d water out before.

Anyway she gave me a prescription for splitting fingertips and knuckles. Good stuff.

Halobetasol Propionate

Still have 3-1/2 years to go before I am clear on the 5 year checkup then it's yearly.

Thanks for the reply Fixer Embarrassed

, although I wish you the best of luck with your ailment Clap

what does a Dairy Farmer have to do with YOUR cracked Fingers ?? Wink

Like them all, but love the "B"s.

Petroleum jelly works very well.

O'Keeffe Working Hands Hand Cream is one of my favorites for rough dry hands.

A dairy farmer has his hands in water washing cows tits before milking each cow twice a day, vary hard on his hands especially in the winter. Been there done that.

Does not matter what you use, but you gotta keep putting the stuff on after every time you wash your hands ... ...if it is not on your hands it is not softening the skin, therefore the cracks... that is my 2 cents...

Holding a grudge is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die

When you wash the teet they get cracked. The balm oil is for them not for humans. someone just figured it out.

I wonder how latex gloves would work?

Aah, yes, but sometimes what's good for a beast is also good for man... IE: penicillin, ivermectin. I don't think any of the ingredients below are of any concern to human life...

Petrolatum
Lanolin
Paraffin wax
8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate

We’ll discuss each of these Bag Balm ingredients in detail below so you’ll know exactly how they will affect your skin.

Petrolatum, also known as petroleum jelly or Vaseline, is the highest concentration ingredient in Bag Balm. It’s an occlusive agent that reduces the rate of water loss through skin. Since petrolatum has a melting point that is close to body temperature, it softens upon application and forms a water-repellant film around the applied area. This film prevents evaporation of the skin’s natural moisture and increases skin hydration by causing buildup of water in the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of skin).

Lanolin, also known as wool wax or wool grease, is a yellow wax secreted by the sebaceous (oil) glands of wool-bearing animals, such as sheep. In nature, lanolin’s role is to protect wool and skin from climate and the environment. It is thought that applying lanolin to human skin can help to protect against dry, chapped skin and other skin ailments. Lanolin is a long-chain waxy ester that contains cholesterol, and is actually very similar to the chemical structure of the oils produced by human skin. Due to its high lipid content, lanolin is occlusive, meaning it prevents the evaporation of water from the skin (transepidermal water loss). Ultimately, lanolin benefits the skin by keeping it moisturized and promoting healing.

Another Bag Balm ingredient is paraffin wax, a petroleum derivative, which is a soft colorless solid that consists of a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules. Paraffin wax is used in the Bag Balm formula to help bind the ingredients together.

The final Bag Balm ingredient is 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate, which has antiseptic properties and is used in the Bag Balm formulation as a preservative. Specifically, 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate is a metal chelating agent extracted from coal tar. It has the ability to inhibit the growth of imidazolidinyl urea microbes.
