Calling Marti for one more thing....what to do about callouses - Nail Problems Message Board

Hi Marti,

Just one more quick question if you don't mind. I emailed and told you I had the dry, cracked feet with the white lines in my toenails. You suggested the Heel Therapy by Creative Nail Design and told me to keep using the Solar Oil. Well I just got the Heel Therapy last night and it is wonderful! My last question to you is about callouses. I have thick skin on the bottom of my feet, mainly around the big toes. Do you think this Heel Therapy will help that as well? or should I use a foot file to help smooth down the skin? or what would you suggest to do in order to help the callouses? Thank you so much!!

I know your advice will be the correct thing to do and you have helped so many people out with the correct info

YOu can use a foot file to help remove some of the hardened callous. Do not try to remove too much at a time - just enough to keep it smooth. Yes, the heel therapy will help with the callous as well.

That's what the Heel Therapy does - helps to remove the cracked, dry skin while conditioning and moisturizing. There might be another reason for the cracked, dry skin - you may also have a fungal infection in the skin, which is usually characterized in this manner. You might want to have your doctor test it to rule out fungus infection.
