So I’ve been working in the lab a lot which is very dry but have been doing a lot of hand on work but have been developing these on my thumb and middle finger.
I’ve been applying Working Hands often lately and will fill a globe with it and sleep with it on.
Any other advice?

Healing will take a long time and attempts are of no use if the same repetition based injury to the fingers is. ongoing.
There is a foot cream called Amlactin, it has a gentle amount of lactic acid in it which softens calluses. There is also a tiny bottle of oil called Camphophenique. Camphor oil will reduce inflammatory process in cracked broken skin to promote healing. Last you need a protective barrier. Aquaphor is 50% petroleum but it has a few other things such as lanolin and mineral oil. Apply and sleep in plastic gloves daily. Stop the re injury if possible.
