This may help! I can tell when I am going to get a crack so this is what I do. I put on lots of cream we all have our own, and then I put on a bandaide at night. Keeps its moist and then during the day I try to keep my hands out of water. I wear gloves if I do have to have them in water this seems to help me. Of course, I have only had 3 cycles and am on a lower dose then the rest are-2000 mgs. Have to keep trying different things. hugs, Sandy
