Yes, I get them every winter. They are really annoying and painful for such a small thing. The year my twins were born was the worst - from all the hand washing, etc. Anyway, the thing that helps me is to blob on the neosporin and cover it with a band aid for a few days. Also, I try to keep my hands out of the water unnecessarily (washing pans, etc.) I hope you find some relief!!
