What can be done for cracked dry painful hands?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vaseline: Get vaseline or vegetable shortening and cotton gloves. Apply either over night and wear the gloves. If you are not working during the day on the weekend do the same. If you work outdoors, keep your hands covered with gloves.
