Another med tip, GOT DRY CRACKED HANDS?

Ok, started a thread yesterday about CTS and so since it is winter time and for those that work with their hands most will have dry sore cracked hands.

WHAT DO YOU USE?

I have tried for years using different lotions and had to be careful due to perfumes in them giving me headaches.

THIS WORKS FOR ME

Read in the paper about dry cracked hands and it said to us VICKS VAPOR RUB

I thought that would hurt like hell in the cracks of my hands but what the heck, I tried it, IT WORKS, and no it doesn't hurt.

When I get ready for bed lather up hands with Vicks and put gloves on. Sleep this way, not only does my hands feel so much better, I breath better at night

Don't have to do it all the time, only when my hands feel dry or start to crack. Use regular lotion on the other nights.

Went to doc for a toe problem ( lost nail on big toe) he said looked like toe nail fungus under the new nail coming in and the toe next too it, he told me to use Vicks on it too. Pain in big toe went away

Well, maybe this can help someone else too.
