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!
