YES 'D'.... I found that out when I got 'atheletes foot' years ago....quacks meds did nothing but empty my wallet...sob......
sat outside with socks off,in t shirt in mid MARCH to have sun beam down on me as it felt goo. Next day I was walking aroun for 2-3 hours before I figured out I had NO pain in the feet. 2 days later pain came back THEN I remembered  I'd sat in the sun, bought D  that afternoon, take 3-5 every day from October to April. NO pain anymore !
Also get Vitamin E creme and apply to hands(yup, nurther trip to WallyWorld) , it'l repair your skin in 1-2-3 days. apply often,especially before bed. Open skin lets in bad germs and things....

VITAMIN D is NUMBER 1,,,did I say 1 on the list.... And you CAN'T overdose on it either.
Then lotions,,,,,,MY favorite is Udder Balm.  It's the stuff dairy farmers always used on their cows in the winter time.  They would crack really bad and you'd get one or two that you couldn't even milk.  You can imagine how them udders would hurt....  It'd be like you left your bells hanging out in the winter....
SO, if udder balm is good enough for them women things,,,,,,,,,,,it's good enough for our hands...  I still use it and swear by it.  Grease and oil and gasoline, petroleum products are a mechanics nemesis in the winter time.

Get some and put it on liberally at night and put some socks over your hands to help keep the warmth in and let it work over night, you'll be amazed.

X3 on the D and lotion. Put the lotion on before you start working on stuff and it helps tp keep the junk from getting into your skin and then some more after you clean your hands.

I have found Gold Bond lotion in the green bottle is the best thing for it, when my fingers start cracking like that.

Take vitamin D. My hands used to get just like what you're saying, but only in the winter time. Found out you get vitamin D from sunlight. What's a person short of in the winter time.....? SUNLIGHT! Started taking vitamin D during the winter months, and haven't had a lick of trouble since. Creams and ointments an all that stuff may fix em up, but take vitasmin D and you have the root of the problem fixed. Darrel

   Here lately I been noticing the skin on my old wore out hands is crackin pretty bad and lookin kinda scaly,,,The skin cracks and like around the joints it finally breaks open where it is pretty painful. I been using a lot of Neosporin but it too much for the meds,I think.
I been doin quite a bit of Shade Treein lately, which the oil and gasoline don't help any. I cannot use gloves so I don't wear em,,,Maybe I need some Hi power hand cleaner,,,??
