Can anyone tell me where I can buy Paraffin wax/cream for my poor bleeding cracked hands?

I had a small amount once rubbed on my feet when under my toes was cracked and bleeding, it was magic, didnt sting and cleared it up within a day. Now my hands are cracked and bleeding between my fingers, I cant find the stuff anywhere. Can anyone help or recommend similar?

i use leftover lasinoh nipple cream on anything that needs intensive moisturising! currently have it on my very red drippy nose!

watching thogh...my hands are red raw and cracked too.

thats hard working women for you!

What a good idea Chimchar, doh doh threw mine away and thought at the time "what a waste of money" (slaps head and wanders off shaking head)

Do you use Antibacterial soap? That can be really really drying on hands

It's just a Supermarket moisturising handwash Cyb, but I do use washing up liquid an awful lot. Think I had better start using Marigolds and stop being lazy.

this stuff is really good and pretty cheap too.

I put sudocrem on mine sometimes when they get like that.

Yes to rubber gloves! And some cotton ones to wear in bed with your hands slathered in hand cream. I'm itching just thinking about you!

Epaderm is brilliant stuff but tbh you really need to get the washing up gloves on!
