I'm cracking up.

Literally. For about a month now my fingertips have been gradually getting drier and drier and I've been trying all kinds of products to reverse this condition.
It was really bad two days ago when my thumb cracked so much it was almost bleeding. I put savlon on it with a plaster and that has healed it.
Everytime I touch anything I'm aware of it.

I don't know if it is the result of a vitamin deficiency or because of the products I'm using while caring for mum such as antibacterial sprays and gels etc or whether stress can cause this reaction.

I've tried moisturising gloves overnight with moisturiser on underneath.

I think there was another cream that may not be on the photo. I can't remember now but I know I bought some of the stuff Norwegian sailors use and that hasn't helped either. I even used a lip balm on my fingertips as that was recommended by the health food shop manageress.

I'm cracking up about cracking up !
