...have started browny green lumps on then.
Why are my knuckles crusting over like this?
I'm 15 years old.
My fists do get put through a hard time and my knuckles often get the skin ripped right off.
I also have a habit of cracking my knuckles, and yes and know I need to stop.

Cracked my knuckles for years and it never did me any harm. Seeing as you are happy with your feminine side, may I suggest you get a good hand cream and use this, sounds like you have severely dry skin on your knuckles. If you put in on a few times a day, and especially before you go to sleep, it will go. And, I know plenty of (very straight) guys who use hand cream. Nothing wrong with taking care of yourself.

My knuckles are cracking too. Its just the cold weather as far as I know.
I rub some skin lotion on my knuckles every day for about 1 hour. It helps to heal it.

This might sound crazy, but go get a good lotion( ask a pharmacist) and put it on at night when you go to bed, but wear gloves to hold the moisture in. You will have to do this several times before you will see a difference. When you get up make sure you wash with mild soap, and reapply the lotion.

cracking your knuckles certainly won't dry your skin out,try a good hand cream/moisturiser and use 3 times a day,a good one is cetaphil,aveeno,even any type of moisturising cream such as johnsons,etc,try a non perfumed/scented one tho.

for the elbows use crisco shortening and wrap them in some fabric or shrink of the ends of socks which you dont desire anymore for 30 min then wash off with cleansing soap and water. for the ft i in many circumstances do this at night soak your ft in heat warm water for 15min then use the pomise stone then rinse of ft. then rubdown vaseline on your ft placed some sox and pass away them on in one day . interior the morning youll see how gentle your ft are :)

After every shower, slather moisturizing lotion on your hands.
Also, if you work with solvents, consider wearing gloves to protect your skin.
