I'm riding on the same seat, a lot fewer miles (about 2K instead of 5). I've tried a lot of OTC skin medications.
I personally love calluses and see it as a sign of protection! But for the cracking, how big is it? If the skin medications don’t work, I’d probably try to cover it band aids or medical tape.
My saddle woe is also caused by friction. I get 2 lines of friction burn on either side of my bikini line that abscesses just love to recur in. Ugh!
