Winter time cracks in the skin along the edge of my fingernails happen every year and every salve on the planet I've tried did nothing HOWEVER ..instant fix is just SLIGHTLY dampen the crack "valley" with super glue and close the crack while dabbing with a piece of paper towel to remove excess glue

Yes, I do the same, and use jojoba oil in an attempt to keep my hands from cracking continuously all winter.
I use White Label lube skin care products. No more cracks for me.
That idea came from battlefield medicine.
Over in the sand box, medics used super glue instead of stitches for some injuries.
Several years ago, an angle grinder with a cut off wheel sent me to the emergency room.
The Doc. superglued me instead of stiches then.
In winter here-- or the poor excuse we have for it- I use Duke's bloody knuckles cream.
It, and their other 'guy' products used to only be available on line, but I've seen bloody knuckles at Lowe's
and our local pharmacy. It's like girl lotion, but super concentrated.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
This ain't your Grandma's sewing circle.

Back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.
Superglue works even when you can’t close the cut. It does a great job sealing the entire opening.
I might be mistaken but I believe superglue was developed originally for the medical profession.

My wife has thick callus's around her heel on the sides. Every so often they will dry out and split.
She used to sit and pick away at it till it was a bloody mess.
I have some superglue with a brush despensor for my fly tying. Works a treat for sealing those cracks up.
Very thin bead of triple antibiotic or Neosporin in the deep part of the crack. To protect the wound.
Then a smear of superglue down the crack and hold it pressed together until it sticks.
If it is slow in drying a sprinkle of baking soda can make it cure real quick.
Tape over it and leave it alone for a week and it will heal.
I truly believe we need to get back to basics.
Get right with the Lord.
Get back to the land.
Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.
Never pick a fight with an old man - if he is too old to fight he will just kill you -
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
praise glorious!
When the Doc replaced my knees the nuses closed the incisions with super glue. They told me it was also waterproof too. Good stuff.

It was used in nam. The best cream I have found is UREA 20 CREAM, it is by STRATUS Pharmaecuticals Inc. It works better than the old black salve we used on the cows.
I used to get really painful cracked heels ....deep cracks that would bleed every winter ........the funny thing is my weight has ballooned out last 12 months (+40lbs)......and cracked heels have disappeared,and my arthritic knees have also improved so much I dont need a stick to walk..........all very strange......(my knees are bone to bone in xrays .)
The older woman is now gone, but she told me Corn Huskers Lotion, it has helped stop those cracked finger areas.

It is always hard to find, if they have it. Walmart, Walgreens
My wife uses Working Hands, in a green tube or tub.

Most of the tanks are gone and the windows don't rattle anymore. I won't be able to sleep now.
Take a look at O'Keeffe's. It works well in dry and cold environments.
GhostHawk: my ex wife used to have the same problem until I introduced her to my Dremel tool with a wood sanding drum installed. Takes off those callus's just fine, just don't go to fast or leave it in the same spot too long or it gets hot. Been using it on myself lately too.
I have the same problem and boy do they hurt. O'Keefe's has worked the best for me. I use it during the day, reapply.every time I was my hands and then at night if they are real bad I'll use a good coating of Bag Balm and put socks on my hands to help keep it from getting on the bedding. Hope you find some relief.
2 hernias and gall bladder removed super glue to close the incisions.
