UKPoacher Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 At the risk of sounding 'Oooh, err, Missus' Rub Vaseline into the affected parts every night. Works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Have a search for diets that will help prevent the cracks rather than just treating the cracks i.e. increase your intake of zinc, vitamin E, calcium and omega 3 fatty acids. Also drink plenty of water to keep you hydrated. If you are overweight it will make things worse also. If it has got to the point of bleeding then you need to be careful that you don't pick up infections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p@cman Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) Need help! Over the past year I've tried all sorts of pharmacy remedies to deal with split heels but now it's getting beyond a joke. On Saturday I took my kids out for a walk and when I got back my socks were dripping in blood after the cracks in the heels got too deep. Anyone got any tips that work cos this is getting damn painful I sympathise, I had same problem last summer and it was pretty painful. I was recommended to try applying something called Badger Balm to soften the hard skin and then begin using a "PedEgg." (A bit like a filing rasp for hard skin!) I was told that the skin cracks as a result of being too hard and too thick. Anyway, it took a while but the combination of Badger Balm and regular filing with the PedEgg worked well for me and the problem hasn't come back.

Toombsy Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Nice one - thanks for all the tips which I will try out ASAP Was out shooting today so I came up with a quick solution this morning to ease the problem a bit - Superglued some of the deeper cracks together The stuff was originally developed as a quick wound repairer, so I thought why not? And it worked, for today anyway. Next problem - can someone help me get my wellies off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 When I've been doing a lot of walling or concreting at work my hands dry up and crack. I spotted that cream in the shooting mags and was sceptical but a couple of years ago I spotted a stand at the local gardening show selling it and bought some. It's great stuff! You have to use it every day, but give it a month and all will be sorted. http://www.starkiesbeeswaxcreams.com/erol.html#1X0 Oh, and I think Shania Twain used udder cream on her face? She was fit so it must be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 If you know anybody in the US, ask them to send you a tub of 'Blue Star' ointment. its cheap, and does the job. Contains 1.24% camphor. I use it on everything from scratches, to cracked skin. Caught the eldest using it the other day after she had shaved her legs. (its meant to be an anti-itch cream ) I dont have an itch by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delbert Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Don't giggle but Udder Cream yes that stuff dairy farmers use to prevent chapped teats, herself uses it for her hands when she is doing her quilting makes them lovely and soft . Now we are not going to make rude comments are we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
