What to use for cracking, bleeding hands in the field.

[ScreamingPotato]

The lotions works ok, but I have found liquid bandage, or in a pinch super glue, on the cracks works well to keep them from cracking more.

This is what I have to do. My finger tips crack on both sides of the nail all the way out to the tip, no amount of lotions will help once that happens and it starts happening freaking fast. Liquid bandaid stops it once it gets started and protects it as well as adds some firmness to keep it from re-splitting every time I touch something. I've not tried the super glue but imagine it would help also.

I get used to get line cuts and cuts from gill plates prior to wearing a glove always on my non dominant hand. Super glue used to seal the cut, keeps it dry and minimizes infections. Nothing worse for infections than a wet bandaid.

Following hand cream.

I get those little finger condoms, my favorite lotion and heal those cracks at night.

Upon further review, none of that sentence sounds OK.

Vaseline from my firestarter kit works well, but usually its my tube of vaseline lip stuff like carmex but no smell

Decided to try Duke Cannon Bloody Knuckles for now, it has Lanolin in it. Been using since this weekend, so far so good.

My hands are always dry when the humidity gets low, and if I don't keep up with something like Okeefes working hands they will crack and bleed. This year in Colorado for a week, my hands started cracking and bleeding really bad. I didn't have anything with me to put on them. Towards the end they actually kept me from sleeping from throbbing pain. Does anyone suffer from the same issue and have something that really works well to keep on them when in the field for weeks at a time?

Bag balm, but it stinks. I super glue the cracks shut. Just did it about 5 mins ago...
