COD and all you others who are horned hoofers!!

[scratchmyback]

Fear no more, you will soon be showing off those hoofs!! I have found the most brilliant tool for all of us horned hoofers.

I went on holiday recently to Madeira and had a pedicure and chirpodist session to remove hard skin on my feet. They used this tool and almost shaved off all my hard skin, you wouldn't believe how much came off - better than when I go to a chiropodist in UK. My feet were left so smooth that I honestly was amazed.

Anyway, took a peek at the tool he used and googled it when I came home. I ordered one and some blades (around £14 in total with delivery). It is called a corn remover, but dont be put off, it comes with an attachment for corns but the blade bit is just for hard skin. I have just used it again and it is bloody brilliant. I will never have to pay chiropodist again to do it.

You must try it, I love it!

will ook

thast a bottle opener

Pumice and daily Flexitol keeps mine nice and smooth

Some of us have known about these for a long time.

smug

oh I meant to thank you all

I had great success with flexitol on my floor-calloused knees
wore a short dress with pride at henley

Got ours in M&S

bloody hell, and there's me thinking I had found a gem

Spend a lot of time on your knees, do you, MrsBadger?

I can't do it myself. Too scared I will cut my foot or saw off half my bone or something!

That contraption looks lethal!

Have a good old file off with a cheap Boots heel file (looks like a cheese grater) every morning in the shower and Flexitol after.

Have heels like Hermes.

I got a thing like that from Boots (much cheaper) to shave off verrucas that had taken root for a year. Soon found it was great for hard skin generally.

(Oh, and along with Duct tape - the verrucas went, as they are much worse than hard skin!)

chance'd be a fine thing

tis from changing nappies on the floor

tel me about duct tape
ds has MILLIONS

apply duct tape, leave on for 6 days, remove, file, reapply til verrucas have gorn (2 months or more)

anecdotal evidence only

I just cannot bring myself to use anything that shaves cuts or peels off skin. Eurgh!

A quick daily rub with the pumice stone whilst in the shower and some Flexitol are keeping mine looking OK (and they were horrible)

What is WRONG with you all? I don't have any hard skin on my feet or knees. Have never used a pumice or a cheese grater or owt.

Is it something which comes with age?

Urgh at the thought of someone scraping great big bits of skin off my feet.

I do have elbows which look like they are covered in limescale however.

I did try that thing where you sit with your elbows in halves of lemon. It didn't work - I think it is just a cosmin practical joke. Entertained dd however.

try flexitol on scaly elbows

go on go on go on

we could be horned jointers

Christ nobody tells you this when you are young and fragrant.

Bloody scaly knees and elbows. Cellulite on your stomach. Hairy toes.

What the blardy hell is flexitol anyway?

Boysarelike dogs is right about the duct tape - works absolute wonders on verrucas and warts!

Must find some flexitol!

just industrial-strength moisturiser thus
£5 from boots

You asked if it was to do with age and IMO it is.

My feet were perfectly normal until I hit 40 and since then, as soon as I expose them to the spring/summer air the heels (and , in fact this year, the arches too) become horrible and dry.

I use pumice. Still using the same piece of pumice I picked up from a lake about 14 years ago. Little & often. Although now the shower is fixed, I am doing it less often.

Loving the duct tape tip - cheers.

I have horned hooves, too! I deal with it by going for a medical pedicure every now and then. So thanks for the link OP.

What I don't understand is, why do feet do this but not hands? Is it the way we use them?
