I use a heavy-duty moisturizer that I apply just before I go to bed. I find the lighter products don't "stick around" long enough to repair the damage. There are over-the-counter moisturizers at your...

I keep my feet and heels well moisturized. Especially after showering. I'll rub great quantities on my heels and then put cotton socks on. I have the same problem with my thumbs and go to great...

I use a back brush to wash my feet. Usually, I don't need any cream, but foot cream works best. I drink lots of fluids.

Is your blood glucose currently under control? The reason I am asking is that I had horrible issues with my feet back before I knew I had diabetes. They would get super dry and crack. It seemed like...

I use Eurcyrin (sp?) active repair cream daily after a shower, then put on cotton sock over them. Took about two months, but my doc says I have "pretty feet" LOL

Go to the drug store, CVS I know carries it. Buy a tin of BAG BALM. Wash your feet and apply, put on white socks for over night, and wake up to BABY SMOOTH SKIN. If you have a lot of callous, you may...

I know what you mean. For me, I think it's part weak muscles that go along with aging (those exercises do help some). Could also (for me) be related to the pinched nerve in my lower back. I have...
