By the way, if any of you have similar problem with deeply cracked skin on your fingers, there's a new remedy that I highly recommend. Every winter I fight - and can't win - the same battle, and last week my dermatologist gave me a small tub of thick greasy substance called Aveeno Cracked Skin Relief Balm. He said you can use it as often as you want, but I only did that at nighttime since it's a heavy cream, more like an ointment. The cracks that stayed on my fingertips for months stopped getting deeper and bleeding after 1 night, skin got visibly smoother and stopped flaking after 2nd one, and after 3rd night they're barely visible - more like scar tissue around those areas, but not thick and scratchy like before. I can't believe how quickly they're gone, and months of using Neosporin before did nothing. Google shows that it's supposed to be available everywhere, mostly in large tubs, but on Target website I can see small 1 oz tubs like the one I got from my doctor only for $2.99. It's very concentrated and perfect as a trial size.
