Rough skin on feet - Skin Problems Message Board

Hi,
I have these really rough patches of skin on my feet and I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions to get rid of them. They are clearly calluses from friction. I have tried this rough skin remover from Dr. Scholl's and it did not work. I have tried soaking my feet in warm water to soften them (this works, but only somewhat). I have also tried various foot scrubs with pumice, with only moderate success. I do not want to go get a pedicure (too expensive and I am incredibly ticklish). Has anyone tried something different that has worked? Thanks in advance!

Try a warm water soak with some softening agents, I prefer jojoba oil mix with vit e/ aloe baby oil. Once youve soaked them a while, then pumice them while still at foot bath. Of course, rinse feet then in clean, cool water. Apply vaseline (at night) and I like and use Zims Crack Creme (I use this both in day and night), it comes in a liquid spray, and put on a pair of ankle socks for the day or evening. Works great, and doing this routinely will surely help your feet as it does mine
