Dried/Cracking Fingers from Swimming?

Triathlon Forum

The finger tips of my thumb and index finger get very dried out and even crack when I swim at the pool in my gym with any regularity. Typing becomes modestly painful.

Anyone else have this problem and have any idea what to do about it? I’ve tried using ridiculous amounts of moisturizer, but that provides very little relief.

I’ve had problems with my feet cracking like that suring times when I’ve spent a lot of time in the pool. Nothing you can really do to prevent it, just manage it.

In terms of skin product, I’ve had really good luck with Aquaphor- good amount of mositure without seeming greasy.
