Always had dry feet, cracked heels etc. Need to give them a weekly sanding. Ive tried creams etc never any luck but I did get a product once in Australia called "Milky feet". Was amazing some concoction you mix in water and soak your feet. Was amazing, any scale (Gross sorry ???? ) or dry skin just sort of peeled or rubbed off. Was brilliant but very expensive about $40 a treatment. 

 

Just wondering if anyone has a home remedy or mix to get the same effect. I'm sure it probably wasn't anything to special but gee it worked well.

If you can find Sorbolene here, that might be worth a try.

I found Nivea Body Milk moisturizer to be quite good (and not messy - fast drying into skin) during recent use of a cancer medication with dry feet side effects.  As other side effects become too much ceased that outrageously expensive pill.

I use gel socks wear them at night till morning they work really well and it's the cheapest way I have tried all the creams my skin never gets better creams are a waste of money if the condition never gets better

I have the same problem from time to time, but a good cream works wonders.

Perhaps i'm wrong, but i believe that those symptoms might have something to do with a slight de-hydration.

Wear socks ALL THE TIME. I am never without them on my feet, and they are baby soft. When I didn't wear them, my feet dried out same as you. ????

Wash your feet well, use a brush if necessary.  Apply liberal amounts of Vaseline and run in well.  Wear socks.  Apply in the morning and just before bed.  It takes a few days to show results, but it done a long-term problem for me.

p*ss on them

I use Nivea Body Milk too..and great side benefit...those little annoying flies we have in the yard seem to hate it !

Dry cracked feet can also be a symptom of foot fungus. I have the same problem and use a strong anti fungal cream with socks while sleeping (so I don't get the cream all over the bedding) and it typically goes away after a few weeks. Problem is you have to use it religiously.

You've got a point there, but urine is too liquid to adhere to the skin well enough for the urea in to have a strong effect.

 

When I had a problem with extremely dehydrated skin on the soles of my feet, with the skin peeling of in flakes, my doctor, in Italy, prescribed a lotion containing 4% Urea and it worked wonders. I see that in Thailand you can even get a cream with 10% Urea, brand name UREATEN, available in pharmacies.

haha who can really be sure?

The urea creams never worked for me and gave the a good long trial too. I found what I was looking for on Lazada actually. If you search Foot peeling mask you will see. Comes with a couple of plastic "socks", essentially plastic bags and they have a Gel in them. You soak your feet first , then put these on two hours. After a day or two all the old crust and skin starts peeling off. Only difference back in Oz these were about $40 for one treatment, 200 baht here for 3 packs. If it is the same thing they work amazingly. I am guessing it is some sort of Papaya enzyme, as this is what they use in meat tenderiser. The stuff I used in Australia was truly remarkable, and if these are the same deal can afford to do a treatment every week or two

yes. much better to intake more water on the inside than try to just soften skin from the outside.

Seriously, I used to rub banana skin on to my heels, works but gets a bit smelly.
