Dry, cracked skin   Author:  17525  Category:(Household) Created:(2/17/2001 8:55:00 PM) This post has been Viewed (2981 times) I always have a problem in the winter with dry skin, particularly on my fingers. The corners, next to the nails get small cracks in them and it's very painful. I play piano, so you can imagine how frustrating it can get. I've tried every brand of skin lotion, including butter, vaseline, and even pure olive oil. Nothing works. I worked in tool and die so the metal dust sucks all the moisture out of the skin. One day, i gave up and thought about gluing the cracks shut. I found that a couple drops of crazy-glue applied to the crack does a fantastic job of helping it heal and keeps it from hurting. Seriously, this stuff is wonderful. Later i heard dermatologists recommend the same thing. Then i learned that it was used for internal surgery where stitches could not be removed, until the FDA outlawed it. Well, i swear by it now, FDA or no FDA. But be careful! Do NOT apply it unless you've washed the cut first. You dont want to seal in an infection. Then ONLY apply it to the surface cut to seal up the skin like a band-aid. I use it on any type of cut now. This stuff is wonderful. But again, be careful....the stuff is VERY sticky. Use one drop, allow it to dry, the apply another if you need to. But let it dry in between 'coats' Good luck You can join Unsolved Mysteries and post your own mysteries or interesting stories for the world to read and respond to Click here Scroll all the way down to read replies.
