If the above seductive title hasn't scared you, the following will.

Oh. My. God.

My feet, I've always struggled with dry hard skin on them DESPITE using every lotion & potion available but this is new level. The last 6 months + they've been splitting. On the heel, on the outer sides. The cuts even make walking painful. I've spent a lot of money on creams that don't seem to do much. I've just ordered some Flexitol as a last resort. Is there ANYONE out there who has ever had this issue? Or am I turning in to some sort of Troll & need to find myself a bridge...

Cillmantain … The podiatrist recommended filing the top of nail with a nail file. Your nails are waterproof so for the Vicks to work it needs to soak into the nail. I gently do this every other day. Keep at it though. I am a month in and both of my big toenails are looking so much healthier.

Go see a podiatrist. They will help you.Agree mosturisers will help but the podiatrist will remove the dead skin properly and give you some advice

It just suddenly went away when I stopped eating sugar, grains and root veg.

Same here.

It is linked to diabetes and I have pcos so that makes sense
