You may have a chronic fungal or yeast infection from wearing the gloves. You might try wearing a clotrimazole or tonaftate cream (in the footcare aisle of the Drug Store) at night, under a parid of cotton gloves. After 2-3 nights you may see a difference. This is often what causes cracked heels on feet which have no other symptoms of “athlete’s foot.”

We just yesterday had a conversation in the pottery studio about it – you’re not the only potter who swears by it, and I came in here to recommend it. I like the fact that when you use corn huskers lotion, it soaks in immediately and leaves my hands non-greasy.

Clapham’s. Quite simply, it is the best in the world. (I am not affiliated with them in any way. I simply adore their products.)

Scroll down until you see “About our Beeswax Hand and Skin Cream:”

You want Beeswax Hand Cream.

The best part? It rubs completely in with NO greasiness. None. And it’s VERY protective.
