Answer 1

moisturize moisturize moisturize, and go get a manicure (they aren't just for girls) it will really help with your "affliction". Good Luck

Answer 2

Agree on the moisturizing...but at this point you've got the cracks to deal with, i know it sounds weird, but it keeps it from bleeding and the huge amounts of pain...get some super glue and put it over the cut...it works as a fake skin and helps protect the split until the crack starts to heal...

Answer 3

If it's the nail bed, put some New-Skin on them. If you mean splits in the skin from it being dry...vaseline and a small bandage. I used to get these in the wintertime when I was working, using my hands a lot.

Both can be used on either part, but the New-Skin will keep your nail bed closed up and protected better.

Answer 4

i know EXACTLY what you mean. I get them too from time to time. Are your nails long? Cut them so that they don't become too short but don't keep them too long because you play basketball. When it spilts, all you can do is just wait for it to heal, and don't pick at it! You can wrap a bandaid diagonally around your finger, so that it covers the cut.

Answer 5

Usually what it is is that the skin is being used to much or abrased. Other times, the old wives tale (but it is true so far) is to wash your hands after you use the toilet, and after you finish playing basketball. Use soap. It is supposed to rehydrate the skin and allow healing.
