What is the best solution for extremely cracked heals? No amount of lotion helps.?

Question

Pedicures work somewhat in the very short term but the thick skin that then has deep painful cracks that bleed comes back. Various creams, lotions, ointments with socks on do no good.

Answer 1

sand off the thick skin with sand paper or pumice stone until it is thin. if the cracks are due to athletes foot put athlete's foot creme on it. if the cracks are just wounds, put neosporin on it. if you have super dry skin, smear zinc oxide creme on it heavily before bed, and put socks on, it will be magically soft moist skin in the morning

Answer 2

Organic Olive Oil

Answer 3

Use a pumice stone and then wear socks to bed after you slather on bag balm. It was made for cows, but is now marketed for people and it works great on really dry, cracked skin

Answer 4

Use hot salt water to clean before going to bed and apply tincture iodine every night until no more cracks, must wear clean socks and shoes..

Bag Balm--should be in your local Walmart, Rite aid, etc. etc. comes in a drk green square can. Works wonders. Put it on at night or day then put on some thick socks. Awesome.
