Check into a vitamin b level too! My body doesn't absorb it, so I get chelitis. Haaaate it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-heal-cracks-on-fingers#post-1951416 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 20:44:21 +0000 Mae 1951416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my hands are awful. I find the only thing that works for me is putting on lotion EVERY single time I wash my hands (which feels like alll the time with a baby) and then more lotion before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-heal-cracks-on-fingers#post-1951411 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 20:28:16 +0000 Beehive 1951411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Eucerin for extreme winter hands (the super thick cream in the tub, not the lotion) - it's greasy and doesn't spread well, but it works great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-heal-cracks-on-fingers#post-1951401 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 20:12:52 +0000 yellowbird 1951401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been using bag balm on mine. Heals up super quick but it's ultra greasy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-heal-cracks-on-fingers#post-1951391 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 20:04:03 +0000 MamaCate 1951391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JMOM: No band Aids! It's like a liquid bandaid and it covers everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-heal-cracks-on-fingers#post-1951390 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 20:01:25 +0000 regberadaisy 1951390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JMOM: the only cream that works for DH is lathering O'Keeffe's Working Hands Cream then socks over his hands overnight. Socks bc we can't find moisturizing gloves that fit <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00121UVU0/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_NZtBub1AD7ZTH" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00121UVU0/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_NZtBub1AD7ZTH</a> </p> <p>His hands Crack and bleed all winter long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-heal-cracks-on-fingers#post-1951389 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 20:01:06 +0000 Tanjowen 1951389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I get them around my mouth and it turned out to be a yeast infection because I wear a night mouthguard and saliva collects in the corners of my mouth. Disgusting, but an antibiotic cream clears it up when it cracks. And those suckers hurt too!</p> <p>@JMOM: I get cracks every winter on my hands, and I coat them in aquaphor before bed and put on gloves. It helps a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-heal-cracks-on-fingers#post-1951388 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 20:00:07 +0000 mrs bunchy 1951388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JMOM: haha it is ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-heal-cracks-on-fingers#post-1951386 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 19:58:42 +0000 winter_wonder 1951386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JMOM: hope it works for you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-heal-cracks-on-fingers#post-1951385 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 19:57:35 +0000 JMOM 1951385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winter_wonder: Ok, cool. The bandaid doesn't stay on anyway. Of course, I'm using Jake and the Never Land pirate ones so they are heavy duty. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-heal-cracks-on-fingers#post-1951384 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 19:55:17 +0000 winter_wonder 1951384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JMOM: he says he doesn't use a bandaid, just lets it dry really well </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-heal-cracks-on-fingers#post-1951380 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 19:52:56 +0000 JMOM 1951380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs bunchy: Is that diaper cream? I use lanolin a lot, it is awesome on my daughter's dry hands. I put it on before bed and there is a noticeable difference in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-heal-cracks-on-fingers#post-1951377 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 19:51:44 +0000 JMOM 1951377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winter_wonder: @MamaCate: If you use superglue, do you have to wear a bandaid? I am wearing one now to keep the sides together - if that makes sense. But, as soon as I take it off, it opens back up again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-heal-cracks-on-fingers#post-1951370 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 19:46:02 +0000 MamaCate 1951370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JMOM: I get them on my feet--it is really dry here--and I swear by super glue! It is messy to put on and doesn't look great but it provides enough of a barrier to let the skin heal. Make sure you get the kind that says "bonds skin instantly"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-heal-cracks-on-fingers#post-1951369 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 19:45:53 +0000 mrs bunchy 1951369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok- this sounds so bizarre. An MD I work with told me this; and I swear by it! A&amp;D ointment.. Put on hands, heels, etc and cover with socks or gloves.. If I put it on my hands I glove up for like 2 hours. Too hot to sleep with them on ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-heal-cracks-on-fingers#post-1951368 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 19:45:38 +0000 winter_wonder 1951368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JMOM: my dh gets those too. He uses superglue just so they don't split open at work. I'm not really sure what to do about the healing part though :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-heal-cracks-on-fingers#post-1951363 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 19:42:48 +0000 JMOM 1951363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Around your mouth - ouch, that sounds really painful!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-heal-cracks-on-fingers#post-1951361 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 19:41:13 +0000 blackbird 1951361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get them around my mouth due to a vitamin deficiency...not really the same but I use aquaphor at night </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-heal-cracks-on-fingers#post-1951359 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 19:39:52 +0000 JMOM 1951359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone else get those cracks on your fingers in the winter that don't heal? I usually don't get them until at least December, but they've started already. I have eczema on my hands so I've been using steroid cream, but it isn't working.<br /> Any tips or products you use to get them to close up quickly? I've heard you can use super glue - does that really work? </p>
