My Chiropodist advised to look for something with Urea in it.

You can make provide your own urea for free - if you dont mind sitting with your feet soaked in pee!! I once read that peeing in the shower has some curative effect on athletes foot, I think for the same reason!

id suggest not using the ped egg once u stop using it the skin will grow back thicker. the best iv ever seen is a cream u get from chemist doctors recommend it ,i think it is felxitol?? ( one of my clients had tried every thing and this worked really well .

I use this silicone sock cream from Avon: http://avonshop.co.uk/shop/product.asp?pf_id=32514&from=search&find_spec=silicone%20foot%20cream&pagenum=1
It iswonderful. I also suffer from psoriasis on my knees and elbows and found this has really reduced the patches. Whether it is this cream or a regular (twice daily) application of 'cream' I don't know, but I have wonderfully soft feet.

Hi there, was wondering if anyone had an ideas of alternatives to cracked heel cream....the scholl version is over a fiver and although it's good I was after a cheaper copy or home-made option. Have tried using bog-standard moisterizers but they just don't do the same job......thanks for any suggestions.

If you have a local Body Care store they sell the Scholl cream for £2.44 i got some a few days ago

Try google for "free flexitol"

Eucerin do a great foot balm with 10% urea, flexitol has 5%. Eucerin are great in that they will send out free samples for you to try. Again, google should put you on to it. These really do arrive too

I have never seen this ped egg thing, but if it makes skin grow thicker that is really interesting and surprising.
