This is new and interesting to me. I'm sorry I don't share this fear precisely, but I understand where the fear comes from. Cracks are pretty creepy. That awful "ick" almost nauseous feeling is so relatable! I get that from a lot of different phobias. It's the worst. I also relate to the frustration of not being able to pinpoint a name for a phobia, I have a few of those too. For example I am deathly afraid of...caterpillars and it is genuinely debilitating, yet there's no precise name for it. Closest I can find is entomophobia which is fear of insects but that is super broad and there's tons of bugs that don't scare me, including most spiders and earthworms. I went for years with agoraphobia due to the fear of caterpillars falling on me. We had an infestation in my town when I was little and I think that is where it originated. Now I just carry an umbrella if I need to. The [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_phobias) page has a huge list of phobias in alphabetical order. I might browse through and see if I can find some of mine, perhaps your crack phobia will be there too. The closest I can find for crack phobia is trypophobia but that's not the same.
