What should I do for dry and cracked skin on fingers?

Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
For dry and cracked skin on the fingers, the following recommendations are suggested: 1. Keep hands moisturized and avoid frequent contact with irritating substances; 2. Apply hand creams containing natural oils, such as vitamin E cream, to lock in moisture; 3. If symptoms persist, consider using a low-potency corticosteroid ointment; 4. If cracking is severe and accompanied by itching, seek medical attention promptly to rule out other underlying skin conditions.
