My poor cracked fingers sure started a 'thread', didn't they.
I've tried Bag Balm. Too greasy to suit me, although it
helps. And I'm staying away from the obvious jokes.
Corn
Huskers is great to rub in your hands just before you tie. But it
doesn't last long.
I haven't had the opportunity to try Gardeners.
My wife got me a similar one at a local place (or they say it is).
All of them "help" the problem. But the best I've
found - and I've only been using it for 3 weeks - was suggestedby my
dermatologist as he was busily cutting away yet another chunk out of my body
(at this rate, I won't need any 'tucks'). It is called "ULTRAMIDE-25".
You get it through the pharmacy, but it is not a Rx item.
It's strictly OTC (over the counter). However, few pharmacies
stock it. They have to order it from their wholsalers. Not a
cheapie. It's nearly $20 for a bottle (8 oz?). Works great on
cracked fingers AND cracked heels.
