Yep mine were revolting too to the point where they bled and it was absolutely gross. My DS refused to come anywhere near them Spent a fortune on creams and it never really went away completely. I have since found scrubbing them each night while in the shower with a scrubbing brush - really scrubbing them and they are pretty much gone now. I hate pumice stone - makes my skin crawl and this way I save heaps of money and don't have to worry about what is in the cream I'm absorbing through my skin !!!
