Best foot cream for rank feet

15 replies

Dingdong99 · 15/08/2022 06:47

I'm trying to make my feet a bit nicer. I do now scrub and moisturise them, and get the occasional pedi

But they have some flakey, dry skin on, and I'd love to know of a good crew that will help clear this up. I don't think it's athletes foot but could be a bit of something going on

Can anyone recommend a great cream?

That wasn't what I expected.

It's a link to Gehwol Blue foot creme

That's the game changer

Exfoliating foot masks. You can get one called Footner from boots. You wear it for an hour then a week later your dry skin completely sheds off. It's gross for a while but your feet go so smooth.

These are so weird, mine seemed to take weeks to fully peel with dead skin everywhere. Gross. I thought it was never going to end.

Now it finally has my foot skin is fairly smooth to be fair but I'm not sure I'd do it again.

I think some are better than others. I tried a new one that I've never used before about 3 weeks ago and my feet still have shedding so I'm going to get a footner today and hope it finishes the job!

Soap and glory heel relief foot cream can buy it from boots, very softening and moisturising

'Healthy Feet' is great. I'm a dancer and this quickly solved painful cracked balls of my feet.

Look it up on Amazon there are some great before and after pics.

I have tried numerous creams over the years and this cheapy works the best for me.

Get a foot cream with urea in it, and a foot file that’s like an Emery board.
‘My DS was recently diagnosed with nail fungus, and one of the symptoms was peeling skin on his toes/feet. Maybe you need a fungus cream, the chemist might have a look for you.

Flexibility heel balm, brilliant stuff

Spidey66 · 15/08/2022 07:33

Flexitol, damn autocorrect

I love o'keeffe's working hands hand cream but the food cream equivalent wasn't great. I used it for 2 weeks on my heels along with a ped egg and it wasn't much better

Purplerain1144 · 15/08/2022 15:47

Flexitol!

SueSaid · 15/08/2022 20:49

Even if you don't think it is athletes foot, persistent scaly flaky feet can have a underlying fungal growth so soak feet, coat in canestan cream (doesn’t have to be special athletes foot cream just bog standard canastan) and any ingrained flaky skin will clear up quickly then you can maintain smooth feet with scholl cracked heel cream.

Chiropodist recommended Flexitol and Gehwohl nail softener. She said not to touch footner with a barge pole.

Yarnasaurus · 15/08/2022 21:14

Flexitol or anything else with urea.

Filing might provide temporary relief but it encourages more callus, so go easy with filing and just keep soaking in urea cream.
