Winters Here.fingers Starting To Split !!!!

[Old Mod]

Ouch Marc, is that an old cut that's reopened?
You'd need to get that healed properly or that could be a game changer

If only Lee!
No it's just regular split finger, sometimes if I'm really lucky it'll split the other side too and meet in the middle! Haha
I've got another one on my left index finger opened today, just started so maybe able to stop it over night tonight if I bind it tight enough.
But that thumb has been open for 2-3 weeks now, there's definitely a bit of crap in there still cos I can just squeeze it and make it bleed, I won't be pain free until I squeeze it and it bleeds freely, then I know it's clean haha
Then I can bind it and it'll heal.
Yes I never work without gloves, yes I use barrier creams and hand lotions. Haha but still they split!
It's a regular occurrence on both thumbs and index and second fingers on both hands!
Believe me I wish it wasn't!
U gotta love this job!

Try this: clean and dry then superglue/mitre-fix the cut. Hold it closed until set.
Once the glue sets then keep a blob on the cut to protect it from opening again.
This gives it chance to heal. It may take a week but trust me - it works.
I had the exact same problem on the same thumb and I tried everything until this.

Marc goto grand canaria and take a guided tour up into the mountains where the local tribes jumped off the cliffs rather than be taken prisoner by the Spanish, up in the mountains the locals sell an aloe Vera plant that IS the real deal, it'll sort them wounds out in no time, then simply protect yourself and those bad boys will only be a memory.
I've tried to buy REAL aloe Vera from all over the place, but nothing comes near to this stuff!

Wow! Haha cheers Lee, I like the canaries as it happens, I might actually give that a go!

If I hadn't witnessed this myself I'd have said someone was getting carried away, and having witnessed it, it would be exactly what I'd do to sort those splits out, money well spent in my view

a little tip about split fingers, or grouters finger as we know it. Put micro pore tape around the split. It takes the pain away and helps the healing.
