Hello,

I am quite empathetic to crack and cuts in your left thumb. As I can understand form your query that you are working with chemical solution and it is the main cause for the skin peeling and related complications.

Therefore the most important part of prevention is by avoiding the use of chemical or by using rubber gloves so that the chemical injury should not be there in your skin.

Till the time you are not preventing the chemical exposure, you will not get better.

I suggest you to apply a lot of petroleum gelly regularly daily for 8-10 times. It will not only moisturize the area but also prevent the cuts and chemical injury to the skin.

All the best.
