The Vicks solution sounds much more convenient than the Epsom Salt soak, so I am definitely going to try it. Thanks again. Thanks Jill & Bea.

It couldn't hurt. Laura you might try combining the Epsom salt soaks and vicks and have it clear faster. It couldn’t hurt.

I know it sounds as crazy as our cracked feet remedy but it really works. It does take much longer then the meds and a little effort but it does work. All you do is rub your toenails with vicks at night and then put on a pair of socks. Now I must admit it took about 8 mons. to clear it up but it finally did. After you get it cleared up too if you ever have problems with it coming back be sure to start the vicks right away because then it won't take as long next time. I only put it on once a day because I didn't want to smell like vicks all day but maybe if I had used it twice a day it would of cleared up faster I don't know. One other thing I discovered was I never go with out toenail polish and I think that is what was causing my problem so now I don't wear the polish in the winter only summer and I haven't had a problem for a long time. Hope this helps. Laura, I use Vicks Vapor rub. I know it sounds as crazy as our cracked feet remedy but it really works. It does take much longer then the meds and a little effort but it does work.

You can use a little of each, or just one of them in your foot soaks. Epsom salt soaks for about 15 minutes several times a week helps, and so does sea salt which draws toxins from the body.

It works! It works! For any Doubting Thomases out there, you only have to try it ONCE to be a believer. I too have had the painful cracked heals. The skin on my right foot was so thick that I couldn't even feel anything when I stepped on something. Now, they are like new. I thought I was going to have to throw big bucks at a podiatrist to get my feet back to normal. But for less than $8 I have new feet again. Now, does anyone have a sure-fire remedy for toenail fungus? I tried the prescription Penlac, which was a waste of money. And I'm afraid to try the oral Lamisil (prescription) because of the concerns about what it can do to the liver. I'll try anything(almost, LOL). Thanks. It works! It works! It works!

I tried this remedy and IT WORKS!! It works very well too. I bought the 'pimple pads' that were the 2% and the gold bond healing cream as directed. I do one the first night then the other the next night. Now my heels have gotten so much better I just keep up the treatment every several days or so. THANK YOU so much! Oh, works on my rough elbows too. Thank you thank you. Anne Oh my gosh!! I tried this remedy and IT WORKS!! It works very well too.

Feet are smooth as a baby's BUTT in the morning. i just use a thick nail file to rub out all the dry spots…..sometimes put a lite coating of VASELINE (not the lotion kind) on feet at bedtime with a sock so it doesn’t rub off during sleep.

This is a liquid. Rub into hands and feet at bedtime. Cover with socks as it is sticky. The bay rum stings a little when you first use it as it is healing. I only tried it on my hands as we use to have to wash them often in food service. It worked great on my hands. Didn't use on feet. I AM going to try the acne pads on my feet as one is particularly dry and cracked. Nothing else has worked. A former co-worker gave this recipe to me.

This past week Tawra's youngest had me sing a Bible song Behold behold I stand at the door and knock knock--- He loves it and hour later at random I read in my Bible in section I don't often go to a verse - guess what it was? Behold I stand at the door and knock. To cap it off the next day the preacher uses the same verse in his sermon. Okay is God trying to tell me something or is it the Aardvark Theory? HA!HA!
