After using pumice stone, apply:
“A+D Diaper Rash & Skin Protectant Original Ointment”, 4 oz. tube for $4 at Wal-Mart in Baby Dept. Ingredients: lanolin, petrolatum (Vaseline) vitamins A and D, cod liver oil, mineral oil, wax, paraffin.

Apply a 3/4″ strip from tube around each foot perimeter and across food ball and heal before putting on socks in morning, and again before bed. (To apply I use a square of toilet paper folded twice into a smaller square.)

Before I realized the cracks were a low thyroid-later a diabetic issue
I had used Lquid bandaid, and later super glue. when i told the Dr. this he said it was originally developed to glue skin together..

Have to keep the feet moisturized and stay out of hot tubs-very hot tubs..Should some lotion every night..

Exfoliate, thoroughly. Wash feet, dry thoroughly. I applied a combination of Burt’s Beeswax foot creme and Shea butter. I bought gallon size plastic bags to wrap my feet in (it’s easier than plastic wrap) and this morning, my once disgusting looking feet actually look amazing! For the first time in a LONG time, I wasn’t embarrassed by the appearance of my feet. Finding a way to hold in the moisture is definitely key. I also purchased a pair of Sole Mates socks which is supposed to help with this. We shall see. Good luck everybody. I’m hoping that by the time I leave for the Caribbean in May, my feet will look good enough to wear sandals!!!

Before going to bed, wash your foot in luke warm water mixed with baking soda. Then dry with a cotton cloth. Apply homeopathic CALENDULA OFFICINALLIS ointment – with ointment base in white petrolatum, paraffin and lanolin which is available in any homeopathic medicine store. Wear cotton socks while sleeping. It works wonderfully for dry cracked heels.

Scrape with pumice stone,(thats similar to what 1 of the ladies mentioned about the concrete) apply generous amount of olive oil, wrap 1 loose layer of saran wrap and booties = great result!! I don’t recomend vaseline or shortening or a tight wrap because your feet wont be able to breath & ur whole body will be sweating bullets!

Castor oil is great, also the food grade coconut oil. I agree w/Pamela, petroleum products aren’t a good idea.

what i find the best is go on vacation. you need 2 days of just walking barefoot in the sand on a beach and swimming. I lived on a beach for years and wear work boots all the time. I would only have cracked feet in late April and May. then when it would get warm enough to go to the beach they would get better again.
