Kev-mo Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I'll probably get some grief for this but be kind. I assume most of us get the dry cracked knuckles come winter whether from fishing/hunting or working outside. I've tried a bunch of hand lotions including udder balm and nothing really works all that good. My knuckles weren't horrible Friday night but they were cracked and red and irritated. The wife finally broke out her hot wax machine for the winter and I gave it whirl to see what would happen. I had done it before just to see what it was like. I did two rounds of wax Friday night which is basically dip a few times let it sit for 5-10 minutes peel and repeat. Woke up Saturday morning and my knuckles were in great shape. That's the quickest they ever healed! So if you have access to a hot wax give it try. Alright I'm ready, bring on the jokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg C Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Zim's Crack Creme has been the best for me. Infinately better than anything else I've ever tried. It is like an oil, rather than a lotion. Zim's makes both but you want the liquid. Use it every day for a week, and you'll see a difference like you can't believe. It allows your skin to heal. The other stuff just seems to make things worse, for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim J Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Yea I agree about some creams. I have purchased some good men's hand creams but they don't seem to work well. Vaseline before bed helps (ha) but I will try the Zim's oil. Oil would seem to be a better solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotions are fine for DRY hands. But, cracked hands...hands that nearly bleed...you need Zim's. I've had that same problem, and that's that only thing that would fix them.

Greg C Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Amended...Working Hands. Available at Ace Hardware. It comes in a tub like you might expect to see chewing tobacco in. BETTER than the item I mentioned earlier. I bought some to try, and it is the BEST!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
