Treatment for Sore Hands
This is part three of a
multi-part series on treating and preventing dry and cracked hands
from extensive cold working sessions. Click here to go to part
one.Another category of treatments for sore
hands involves the use of products that specifically target and
treat painful cracks and split areas in the skin. While
lotions do address this problem area, cracks can be particularly
painful and in need of quick treatment.
1. Cover the split areas with
Super Glue or nail glue (super glue works better). Not only
will this stop the pain immediately, it also protects the split
areas from widening or worsening.
2. Lava stone. This is a mildly
abrasive stone that is rubbed onto the fingertips when wet. It
works well to sooth sore skin, and can be used to target cracked,
sensitive areas.
3. New Skin. This is a
liquid bandage product that claims to protect minor wounds and
cracks. Unfortunately, it has a strong smell and stings when
used. Not recommended.

such as gloves, waxes, and silicone
shield products.
