iPad If I use my iPad with my hands which are very dry and cracked and sometimes bleeding a little on the top of my hand in the winter time will it?

Note, if your hands are that dry, you might have trouble using the touchscreen. During winter, I often need to use cream on my hands otherwise the iPad wouldn't recognize my touch.
Note, if you use too much cream the screen will be too dirty to accurately trace finger or pencil input.

Nah, I'm using a fancy one (same I use for the face) that absorbs very quickly. The packaging is a pump-style jar so it's actually hard to overdo it (I just use 1 pump).
Besides, fingerprint haze has always been an issue for me on iPads with laminated display. I could clean them and within 15 minutes of use, they're dirty again (no lotion/cream, just normal finger oils).
The non-laminated iPads seem to have more effective oleophobic coating.
Use this before you go bed and it will make a world of difference with your hands!

I feel for you. My job dries out my hands really bad. I use special hand creams to minimize the cracking and bleeding. Cracked hands also hurt. And like most people are, I am allergic to pain. As for harming your iPad it is highly unlikely to be damaged by it.
I think your fingers will fall off, and blood will gush all over the place, and spray all over other phones and destroy millions of phones, sending the world economy into total collapse. It will be the end times.
I am serious. Not everyone is mentally stable and perfect. Even if you think they are.
Try Lotil. It's a bit pricey, but goes a long way and works marvels for many people.
Also, reconsider what type of soap you are using. Lots of cracks on fingers are due to using harsh or anti-bacterial soaps that dry out the hands excessively.

If your hands are bleeding so much that the blood damages your iPad, you have waaaay bigger problems than a damaged iPad.
That is to say, no, unless you are gushing blood, it shouldn't be a problem.
