I do this during the winter before I go to bed when my feet are real dry......it might work for you. I exfoliate the spot real well and then put on vaseline and socks on go to bed. Let me know if you try it and if it works for you.

nice to see you back again NCTanMom...

when my feet are really bad, I do what Laurel suggested. I soak and exfoliate... then I apply a thick moisturizing cream before bed or even sometimes Johnson and Johnson Baby Oil gel (but don't tell Anya )and then put on thick socks....

You could also try the Neutrogena Body Oil that everyone has been raving about. I have some and it really helps my dry feet!

i have actually been using the neutrogena body oil on my feet too. get a pumice stone and rub it then moisturize while still damp and put on some cotton socks (b4 bed)

Just wondered how the dry skin was coming along NCtanmom. Did you try the vaseline and socks at night or something else?

There was something else I thought of if you are still having the dry skin problem. You could try that Cortizone 10. It works pretty well on my eczema dry spots.
