I have these all through the year and sometimes they give me big blisters at the side of my feet.I am always soaking and creaming but nothing seems to work.Also have very dry skin? Anybody else solved the problem. Annie

Hi Annie
I always use pure Vaseline on my feet,works for me!
Buy white cotton foot socks and wear to bed.You should see an improvement in time.

Hi,

I have been using Vaseline intensive rescue relief & repair balm and think it is brilliant.
They also make a Hydrating foot cream which i bought this afternoon to give it a try.

try a foot file....the file is black like an emery board....give the heels a right good rub to get rid of the skin(you have to rub hard)and then moisturise with whatever cream you want.

I used to have this problem and saw the above on tv...no problems since,

Was going to say the same as Mau.

Theres something advertised on tv now...cant think what it's called though.

Hi Annie - try rubbing them with warm olive oil before you go to bed and wearing cotton socks. AL

try a chiropodist,they will treat and show you how to take care after,,,also your shoes may not be helping,especially if you wear sandles type everyday,

That's what I use when my feet go through very rough patches - olive oil always seems to work for me.

My nan always used olive oil and her feet were lovely - even when she was 90! AL

You should see your GP. Was in CCU last week (heart attack)and remember seeing poster showing probs with heels think was summat to do with chol' too high

Look in Asda/Tesco... not sure which ... there is an Australian remedy... and it really is sooooo good!! (Please don't tell those GR members who know me, but I have left the product in the guest house I have been staying in at the weekend, otherwise I would give you the details, lol I have a bit of a reputation for leaving stuff behind, lol)

Love

I use it... put my feet in socks and either go to bed with them on, or wear them with trainers... within two or three days really deep cracked heels are sorted!

hi it is flexitol heel balm for rough dry feet
me and my daughter have this problem and thay split and it hard to walk at times
defo use a file on your dead skin first and then i use that hand wash the hospital use to kill germs and m.r.s.a. boots sell one called matron bio hand wash gel i use this on my feel to kill germs then put the balm on it works but you must keep doing it ok
