It's a crack!

paw paw cream - lather it on and then put socks on.

or there is a cream that starts with E than you can buy at the supermarket. I can't remember what it is called though. It's very oily though so put socks on straight away...even if you're getting into bed. I have a mark on my sheets from it

Eulactol heel balm.
Even better- now you can get a bandage like contraption to wear overnight- works a treat.

I was just going to post a thread on this exact topic. Off to try the remedies.

Thanks all, I have armed myself with some eulactol!

Does anyone have any other tips to prevent it? As I said I have never had this before and usually have nice soft feet! I think living out in a dry and very hot climate, wearing thongs alot has made them dry and yucky, even though I scrub them and moisturise.
