    I like the hemp cream from the body shop- combined with the special socks they sell also.

    When my feet are really bad, I use a 'milky feet' or 'baby feet' treatment on them.

    Re: How to heal a cracked heel?

    Thanks everyone I've got a few of the Eulactol ones - why are there different kinds for what seems to be the same thing? It confuses me so I have a couple lol. I just need to remember to use it more often - at the moment I don't even remember every day so I need to set myself a reminder or something twice a day.

    Sounds like I need to just wait for the dry skin to kind of soften and grow out the crack. I'm guessing this gonna take a while, bugger that the weather is warm and I don't wanna wear shoes! I do have a ped egg thingy and a pumice thingy, and I used to use them before it got this bad, get my feet kinda nice for a while then drop off again. So I'll just wait til the crack is gone then make sure I actually look after them!

    A quick update for anyone with the same foot issues as me. I've been putting the cream on every night after a shower, then wearing socks. I reapply again before going to bed. But I've been slack at remembering in the morning before rushing out the door, and I've still been barefoot or in thongs most of the time. Tonight I decided to use the ped egg and pumice on at least the right foot to stop it getting as bad as the left and it got so much off! So I did the left staying away from the crack, it was getting loads off and the foot was actually going a different (nicer!) colour, so I gently did the crack too, in the same direction. It's made a huge difference, it's smoother so doesn't hurt or catch on anything, and the part on the sole of my foot actually looks healed a bit. Very happy with that, so I'm going to make sure I keep up with the cream and socks!
