Bag balm can be bought in most drug stores. It comes in a square, green tin
in a couple of sizes. The small one is not worth bothering with. And--it costs
almost the same as the 10oz one--a more practical size.
If you do not see it in the lotions area, ask the pharmacist to get it in.
It will cost under $10. Maybe just $8. Yes! You may also find it in feed stores.

It is quite greasy (like Vaseline) and is best applied and rubbed in when you go to bed.
Just pull some cotton gloves or a pair of old socks over your hands.
It will "do its thing"overnight.

Here is what it looks like. Also--"True Grit" is the best dirty hands scrubber.
It has pumice in it.

There is another, similar cream called Udder Cream. Bag balm is better.
