Scholl cracked heels stuff - any cop?

That's it really.

You need Flexitol Heel Balm...its fab! You need to put it on before bed and wear socks over it as it can stain the sheets but in a few days you will be transformed from pigs trotters to er...well, non pigs trotters! ha ha!!

this always puzzles me on mn

what are cracked heels

I just saw an advert for it on telly.
Looked down at my heels and yes, they are cracked.
Will watch this thread for alternative solutions.

The Aussie one's good too.

so why do they get cracked does it hurt

do you mean hard skin on your heel

i think it's just dry skin, no?
wondering if any old moisturiser will do?

I've been using Waitrose baby bottom butter. working so far. you just need something really oily. Vaseline would probably work just as well.

I have pompholyx (eczema-ey itchy dry blistery scaly thing [retch]) so need something intense. Have tried E45, baby oil and body butter. Just need softer skin so it doesn't crack and hurt so much

Think it has to be badly cracked for it to hurt but, no, any moitsturiser won't do.

I think the key ingredient is some derivative of urea (don't think about it too much). I don't know the science bit behind how this softens but you need heel cream to make it non pig's trotter-ish.

They work tho'.

Flexitol is the total biz, it works a treat. Have even persuaded DH to use it and he is amazed by the transformation of his hideous trotters into something that almost looks like normal human feet!

I use the epaderm which the doc prescribes for my son's excema. It's like a greasy balm.

another vote for fleitol. i bought some, not expecting anything better than i had already got., but after one use i can really tell the difference.

i didnt know it stained the sheets though

flexitol rules.

Flexitol, flexitol, flexitol.

Flexitol.

Is the message getting through yet??

Flexitol

It is great. Not expensive either I think.
