Maybe I need seek a podiatrist but let me start the cheaper way first. :) I have a horribly cracked left heel but my right foot is smooth as ever. I don't even do anything to my right heel either! I have tried lotion, vaseline, pumice stone, socks with vaseline, and exfoliation and it still is dry and cracked! Any suggestions! Please help!

There is this excellent stuff called Blue Goo, which is available at the Wal-Mart for like 2 bucks a jar, and if you rub it into your heels every day, the cracks will heal within a week. It's great!!!

See an MD,it will be better in the long run.Cracking skin is one major symptom of diabetes.Have your blood sugar checked to see if it is high.
If you know someone who has a blood sugar meter,ask to use it.After a few times,you will know if it is your blood sugar.
An MD can take a blood sample and find out what your blood sugar has been for the past three months.That may tell you what you need to know.
My hand began to split and crack open at the base of the thumb.It hurt like heck and nothing helped.Later on down the road,I was diagnosed with diabetes.That is what caused the skin to break open.
