I would recommend seeing a competent dermatologist who could possibly prescribe a medical product to eliminate the problem.

I am using band-aids to keep the crack closed, but the ones that I have tried all are too slippery to get a good sound on the lute strings. Has anyone found a good answer to this problem - either some bandage that works well for plucking, or some other way to keep the skin from cracking?
