I think when it gets a little cooler, I will try the vaseline and socks. I'm sure my hubby would appreciate a softer foot, the next time my toenails slice into his shin! :mrgreen:

Karla, up here in Maine I have bought stuff that lobstermen use - don't know the name off hand, but I would be glad to research it and send you some. Let me know.

Aww beachlady--you are so kind... let me try some of these other ideas... and I'll let you know. THANK YOU!!
Two years ago, a student gave me a huge bottle of Jergens for school. I'm going to try putting it on more often first... and go from there.
Ooo--that looks easy--a stick!! Definitely a possibility!! Thanks for the link!
athomesewing--that bee stuff looks good too!! Justin's girl and my daughter could use one of those for Christmas!! Oh-and I'll get one for me, too! :D
Do you recommend the vanilla or natural?

Even BEFORE the skin on my hands, especially around my nails, was fried by chemo, the chemo nurses recommended that I buy Shea Butter to be prepared. It really worked, and it didn't feel greasy. DH found it at CVS - if you don't have CVS - I think a drugstore - which woud be cheaper than a health food store.
It smells good, too. Kind of like the cocoa butter we used to spread on ourselves to get a good suntan before we found out we shouldn't be doing that!
I'm going to use it again this winter when I'm in AZ, because my hands dry up there every year. Regular hand lotion just doesn't do the job.

One more suggestion - when I got a bad fissure in my heel, my Dr. suggested Amlactin lotion. It healed the fissure in 2 days! It is non-prescription, but I know at Target they do keep it behind the counter at the pharmacy. Maybe because it's expensive, but it only takes a couple of drops, so it lasts a LOOOOONG time!
