Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I've been having problems with cracked fingertips b/c of the cold, dry weather here just East of Lake Ontario in NY state, and all the knitting I've been doing with acrylic yarn. Using advanced healing hand lotion hasn't had a noticeable effect and last Friday evening (5 days ago), my fingertips throbbed so badly (the same pain as multiple deep paper cuts) that I had to put some anesthetic ointment on them and bandage them. The next day, I squished up part of a baby scoby, added some finished KT and put it in a bowl covered with wax paper on my counter. Every time I wash my hands (and whenever else I think of it), I put some of the liquid on my hands, just like I would hand lotion and let it dry. Wow! The cracking, flaking dry skin is totally gone AND the deep cracks on my fingertips that hurt so much are nearly healed and don't hurt any more. I'm still knitting, perhaps more than before, since the project is a Christmas present and time is getting short, so it's definitely the KT. Just wanted to share, Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
