Cracked heels

[Flobochin]

Summer brings out those dreaded cracked heels.

Pumice them after every shower, lather on foot cream and you can keep the at bayside why do so many women just not bother?

Bleeding cracked heels can become infected and cause sepsis

Bayside? Sounds like a shopping centre to me. Not sure they stock cracked heels. Each to their own!

Are you telling women what to do with their feet?
Have you missed the many threads with people asking for advice about their feet?
It's not necessarily not bothering, there are many factors in life.
On the flip side, I've got really soft feet and get blisters galore on my soles, heels and toes, even with worn in shoes.

Shouldn't your post title have a judge alert Public Information prefix?

Don’t worry. Doesn’t look like we’re going to have a summer.

I'm lazy. And my feet are so hard (from years of dancing) that a pumice does nothing.

Simply a kindly message, because a colleague of mine got sepsis from cracked heels.

Strange how people get the hump over every post.

Your post came across as judgemental, but I'm sure you're aware of that.
A kindly reminder does not need to be finger wagging.

Blimey, chill my dear, you're the one who is judging - think about it.

Jeepers!! If only it was that easy!! Pumice and some Moisturiser?!
I moisturise my feet several times a day. I pumice too. Yet I still struggle to put my weight on my feet sometimes due to deep cracks and incredibly sore soles.
Not everyone is as lucky as you!! Very judgemental post!!

OP Don't 'my dear' me. Have a word with yourself.

A lot of the time people are moisturising dry feet when actually they have a fungal infection. You can get athletes foot on the soles of your feet. If you’ve got dry feet try an athletes foot cream like Lamisil and see if that clears it up.

@Ponieswithponytails you have it in one. That's a very common problem.

@finnmcool Chill my dear, it's nothing to get your knickers in a twist over.

I had cracked heels for years. A pumice did nothing, nor did any of the creams I tried until I discovered Flexitol Heel Balm. If anyone is reading this hoping for advice I urge you to give this a try if you haven't already. It's miracle stuff (or CCS cream which also has 25% urea).

To the OP, your post comes across as sanctimonious, there are ways to get across a health message if you are concerned about people's health but your OP is a master class in how to get people's back up.

Totally agree re fungal infection. Mine has been a combination of this. And by moisturising, you are adding the moisture to allow the fungal to grow!! Vicious circle. A good podiatrist is helpful. Although even between appointments is a struggle.

OP, you really are quite spiteful!!

I tried flexitol - it felt like pouring vinegar into the cuts as they were so deep!! :-(.

Sanctimonious and patronising

I tried flexitol - it felt like pouring vinegar into the cuts as they were so deep!! :-(.

No treatment works for everyone sadly (something the OP would do well to remember). Cracked heels are so painful.

I tried flexitol Me too.

I now use Chiropody Sponge And O'Keeffe's healthy feet.

Soak feet and use sponge and the use cream, and for the first time in years my feet aren't cracked.
