Very funny you guys. I think you mean is your skin supposed to crack. No, that comes from being in too dry and arid an atmosphere. Your feet can crack open for the same reason or from being too wet. Not something that would normally happen to elbows. For your elbows I would suggest something along the lines of olive oil. Warm it some and massage into the cracked dry skin to help soften, soothe and moisturize your skin on elbows, feet, face or any where your skin is dry. Apply after a nice warm (NOT HOT) shower with a moisturizing soap. DO NOT USE HOT OIL you WILL BURN YOUR SKIN creating a new problem for yourself. Now if you mean they make popping and cracking sounds, no they are not supposed to make sounds normally. You should see a bone doctor and have your joints checked out. You may have "arther." I hope not. Or you could have torn or worn cartilage in the joints. Have the doctor check for that also.
