My middle finger tip on one hand has had a cracked and dry skin for a couple of months already with no changes; moisturizer and mupirocin didn't help?

See below : I’m sorry to hear about your finger, my advice is that you go to a dermatologist and have it checked out, could be fungi or bacterial infection, please have it checked out.
