I have had a problem with dry, cracking spots on my hands for several years. I have been to a few doctors, even dermatologists about it, only to be given the generic diagnosis of eczema. They wrote prescriptions for the latest and the greatest lotions and creams, even a tape with medicine in it. My fingers split and bleed to the point of using 5-6 bandaids at a time. It is confining, awkward and embarassing. At night I would slather up my hands with medications, sometimes in addition to Vaseline, and wear gloves to bed. Meanwhile, my husband had a bottle of Corn Huskers Lotion in the medicine cabinet he was using for much less bothersome cracks on his hands. I used it a couple of weeks ago, in the frustration of all other failures. It not only heals my skin, it takes away the stinging. I wish I had tried it sooner. I could have saved myself years of discomfort.
