Now cracked fingertips

Following my post about the problem with my finger nails. At this time of year,ie in the cold weather, I suffer from cracked fingertips which although may seem very trivial is actually very painful. It is truly amazing how much you use your fingertips. I am using them now as I type out this post. So I went in search of natural ways to cure and heal this condition. I found that vitamin E oil may help as may Nizoral shampoo, used to wash the hands about three times per week. Also aloa vera oil may help in the healing process.

Other natural treatment that I could try is tea tree oil although put straight on to the split could be a little painful. No I have just tryed it and it does not hurt. I thought that perhaps, one of my favourite healers, Manuka honey may help however it is rather an expensive way of treating the condition. Please add your natural cures for cracked fingertips in comments. Thank you.

Please diagnose me

Today I went to dermatology at my local hospital about the problem I have with my finger nails and toe nails. They  are similar to the image above only a little worse, nails broken and white areas covering the nail, some areas of the nail are thick with nail as if it where growing up and down rather than straight out. The senior registrar took all my details bearing in mind the problem with my chest, my stomach ulcer and hiatus hernia.
I have had this condition now for about ten years and doctors do not seem to know what it is. A fungal nail infection seems likely however it seems to be not conclusive. The senior registrar took nail and skin samples and asked me to come back.

I have tried my own methods of healing the natural way such as using Tea tree oil, vinegar, aloe vera, but I have not tried the more obscure natural healing methods such as vicks vapour rub and WD-40, not together of course If the hospital are unable to cure my nail problem then I will continue to look for natural treatment. I may even use diagnose-me.com, an online way of finding my illness. I will keep you posted about the outcome.
