I would say use a lot of moisturizing lotion and that should subtle the pain. There are plenty available in the stores. Also i used to use Almond oil, it helps moisturize your body like anything.

Hope this helps.

Hi Huma,
I usually apply petroleum jelly daily to the fingers and toes, before going to sleep and whenever i go out! it had helped me a lot!
I too had cracked fingers and toes, sometimes with blood too, years back.
Even now i get dry on my hands and toes and it becomes rough.

Wear socks in the house or if used to wear slippers around.
Don't use very hot water to wash your hands or if you are taking a bath.
drink plenty of liquids.
Washing hands frequently will also give this problem, avoid it or wear gloves when doing dishes or anything with water.

you can use hand moisturiser or hand lotion whichever is available there.
Hope it helps!
