Each winter I fight having my fingers and thumbs bleeding from being not only cut up and banged up, but from the skin drying out to the point it literally splits open and bleeds. I work outside and also on all sorts of vehicles in my barn. I constantly have to use tough cleaners on them to get all the grease and grime off them. I've used "Udder Balm", Cornhuskers lotion, all sorts of hand lotion, and even Vaseline. Still, my hands are sore, rough, thick with calluses, and split open. It actually seems to be far worse where I have thick calluses. You'd think that would be the tougher part, but it's not against splitting open. And, yes, I do try to use gloves most of the time. I wear out several pair each month. Any good ole home remedies, suggestions?
