Split fingertips are a minor Imbruvica side effect...but dang it they hurt when you bump them or try to do things....liquid bandage helps...lotions help...I've even taken to trying to use an emory board to smooth out the edges of the cuts...just got these today.. bought them to protect my thumb when shooting trap but I've got a feeling I'll use them on my other fingers as well

They look like a good idea! I may get them for my husband who gets split finger tips in the winter and he does not have CLL. Thanks for the tip!!

Hi I have some finger guards but they are made of a rubbery substance which makes fingers sweat. What are the one you recommend made from?Ann

A 40% zinc oxide applied overnight and covered with a bandaid for several nights works for me.
