You need Crack Cream.

I have had terrible dry skin since I was born. If I don't stay on top of it, my hands and feet are a disaster. Seems to get worse as I got older (39.....) The key is keeping things moisturized. The last several years I would get terrible skin cracks on my hands. I have found that using aveeno daily moisturizer (comes in a beige bottle with green cap) really helps. I use that on my face too. I have only had a few finger cracks so far this year. I have counted over 50 cracks on my hands when it gets bad. Eucerin is another good product. They make a real thick cream in a jar. Mary kay actually makes the best stuff. It is called extra emollient night cream. It is a really thick pink smelly cream but it works wonders.
Once you get cracks, there is a product made by 3M called Nexcare skin crack care. It comes in a bottle like nail polish. You paint it on to the skin crack and it helps it heal. I haven't seen it much lately, it used to be everywhere like Walmart and drug stores. I bought 6 bottles at walmart for 1.50, may have been a close out. It was 5.99 and worth every penny. It takes a few layers painted on but it works great. Kind of like glues the cut together. the 3M website lists it and you can find it on Ebay.
I also have some nexcare "liquid bandage" It is very much like super glue, and glues the crack together. I have heard you can also use super glue. Other bandage companies make liquid bandages that would probably work.
I currently have a 2" long skin crack on the bottom of my left foot that was just caused by dry skin. It just lets go. Looks like more of a laceration than a cut. I could barely walk the pain was so bad. Got to keep them moisturized.
Good luck, these are the most painful things. I would really recommend the nexcare stuff.

lansonil works wonders as well. As long as you dont pay attention to what it is really meant to be used for, its great stuff.

Yup, just like Nebe said and Gone Fishing re-stated with a few jokes in between, get Bag Balm. It works.
