Hi,
Does anyone have any ideas about skin treatment. The skin at my finger tips
near the nails has been cracking . The more I throw the worse it gets. Ive
tried various hand creams without any luck. Rubber gloves dont work. Any
ideas will be greatly appreciated. Shelly Bieber, Earthart Pottery
I don't know of any creams to prevent cracking, but what I do really works to
help seal them
so I can throw and also helps them to heal faster. Coat those little cracks
(this also works
for scratches, cuts, and other minor skin abrasions) with a thin layer of Super
Glue! Yes,
Super Glue,,,,,it really works. It seals out the air, and water, and all those
chemicals we subject
our hands to while throwing and glazing. For some reason, it almost
immediately relieves the
soreness and pain in those cuts, and seems to help it heal in about half the
time. Just coat with
super glue, and leave it on til it wears off. The only caution I would
recommend is make sure you
aren't allergic to it,,,,I did try it on my daughter once and it got very red
in that area. This method
was recommended by an orthopedic hand surgeon who uses it regularly on his hand
patients,
and I saw him do it many times with no adverse affects.
Debbie
