DD1 is swimming 4 times a week now (5 at the moment as school is taking them this term too!) and her feet are in a terrible state - all dry and cracked with a bit of eczema type stuff on the top of them. I'm pretty sure it's the swimming that's doing it as we had a weekend off a few weeks ago and it started to improve almost immediately. Been to the GP and they just gave us hydrocortisone cream. She has about 10 different sorts of moisturiser which we have tried, and we lather something on every night and put socks over it, but nothing's really helped (although steroid cream has improved the eczema). There's no way we are reducing the swimming - she absolutely loves it. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there anything that would help?
