I agree that severely cracked heels that aren't responding to any other type of treatment (religious application of callous creams containing AHAs/BHAs, using a pumice stone or callous file on a regular basis) are probably a type of athlete's foot (though not the same type as guy's get).
If you prefer a more natural approach than using a anti-fungal athlete's foot product, you can mix a few drops of tea tree oil with your favorite foot cream and massage it into the soles of your feet 1-2 times daily for a week.
You might also want to check out this thread were we've also discussed nasty cracked feet and possible solutions: http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=5113&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=100
About a month ago, I made a DIY/homemade callous cream for my feet that contained tea tree oil, Cedarwood EO, Tagetes EO (this EO is ESPECIALLY helpful for foot-related fungis, including that nasty stuff that gets in your toenails) and Geranium EO and in less than a week, my feet were in absolutely perfect condition! When I went for a pedi last week, the lady didn't even have to break out the callous rasp to "sand" the bottoms of my feet.  |
