Splitting Cracked Finger Tips

buddym · Oct 26, 2008

Anyone ever get these when cold weather creeps in. tried superglue, new skin. Zim's crack cream, udder balm, you name it. Tried to hit some golf balls yesterday and the tips of my fingers got so bad they were bleeding. I've heard there may be some oral medicine for this.Don't know about fish oil or something of that nature, but couldn't be all bad. Tried Vitamin E last winter and no good.Did find out however that K is great for bruising though.:sad3:

Damn where are you? antartica? lol I know you're in the south I would not think it was cold enough to suffer from this yet.

my dad has the same problem buddy. he cakes this stuff called "Bag Balm" on his hands at night and wears real soft cotton gloves when they really get cracked bad. i think you can go to walgreens and ask them for the bag balm. its in a little green metal can and is sorda a mix between vaseline and an ointment. give it a try, its good shit.

Anytime it gets to 60degrees it starts up. I think it is the time of the year. My fingers can tell everytime when cold weather is coming. Yes you are right, not a long way from you.A couple of states over

i get this problem, altho not so bad. i swear by aveno hand lotion. they have this medicated one and it solves the problem in a few days. no special gloves needs, apply a few times a day. i feel your pain, best of luck!

Being a duckhunter in Iowa this is a common problem. With the water, mud, and cold weather it happens all of the time. Thanks for saving me the time from writing this raydog, this is identical to how my father has found to solve this problem.

i will give all of the above a try. have tried a dew a the afore mentioned with no sucess.The bag balm does the rick as long as i keep it on,however sure have a hard time playing golf with greasy hands. The nexcare seems like something new. Will also give it a try. A friend of mine today also told me to take some fish oil.
