I have trouble with the skin cracking on my knuckles in the Winter. Is there anything I can do to aid the healing of the cracks?
Answer ---------------------
Start with lots of moisturizers, especially at night and after washing. Avoid soap on the back of your hands. If this doesn't work, you may need a prescription steroid cream from your dermatologist/doctor. This can be a significant problem and is often related to daily activities (work/hobbies). Eliot
