Dry Feet Does anybody have this problem besides myself? It seems to get worse during the winter months. My heels are the worst, they get all cracked and dry, so dry that I can sometimes just pull pieces of skin right off my feet. I just started using something over the counter called Kersal, it seems to work pretty good. Of course, it's got white petroleum in it, which is a good softening agent. If I keep using this stuff, it's my hope that I can have normal looking feet again. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

actually, you know what, i have a SERIOUS answer...for once!
my boyfriend has a tube of the gold bond medicated cream for dry feet, and we actually use it when we have dry skin (a big problem during chicago winters) because it does the trick quickly and it smells a lot better than the gold bond medicated stuff that you're supposed to buy for non-feet bodily regions. i bet they have it at your local pharmacy or even at your grocery - it's in a blue tube. | |

Thanks, Anxiety, I will have to go get some. Never tried Gold Bond, although I have seen the commercials for it on TV quite a bit. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

You need a tube of this...
But in future, always use talcum powder! | |

Mine get bad too. I've had to go as far as a foot file. Foot shavings and skin powder. No one ever sees that! | |

My brother in law did. There's this feet soother things you can by at Walmert. Basically you place wax in a solution in this device and it heats melts the wax. Then you soak your feet in the solution--yes it's hot, but it won't burn you. After a few minutes you take your feet out, let the wax dry, and peel it. I swear to God, your feet will be soft, silky, and completely different from the way they where--it's amazing. I don't have much of a problem with my feet other than they're kind of ugly. | |

Tea tree is great! You can use it for a lot of skinproblems.. Lavender (pure) can also be used if you burn yourself. The Borg... Partypoopers of the galaxy.. ( Medical Hologram )
