No no and no.
Elbows do not get dry and crusty because of a petroleum jelly deficiency. It's going to be from a vitamin deficiency. Likely Vit-A, but maybe one of the Bs like folate.
I've used petroleum jelly for years. Doesn't get rid of the problem.

Okay, you know that rough skin you have on your elbow? Well imagine that, but a bit scalier, and spreading over your entire... place that should be soft. Now, imagine if that skin also got marinated in vinegar and microwaved, and hair somehow got trapped under a layer of that skin, and the hair kept growing. Under this kinda blister that's sort of filled with some butter-colored oily matter, and then it started sweating, kinda like cheese, but on live meat, until it hardened into a flaking crust.

My elbow is dry and swollen in winter as well.

Petroleum anything shouldn't be put on skin.

The moaning and groaning from the audience is a bit much. Over dry elbows?
