Cracked fingertips may result from vitamin deficiencies or skin conditions such as eczema or fungal infection. It is essential to visit a hospital for proper examination to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, keep your hands warm and apply moisturizing hand cream regularly. Avoid using harsh irritants—such as dishwashing detergent, soap, or laundry detergent—on the affected areas.
