Well, as for the dry flaking part, go to any local drug store like a CVS or Walgreens, go to the foot section and get some intense foot moisturizing cream, cake it on there before bed, and put on socks!. Also, if they are hard, around the heels and such, get a foot scrubber, and scrub, that will help alot!. As for your toenails, this is such an old home remedy, I know it works for yellowing and thick toenails, take a q-tip and dip it in vinegar, rub it all along your toenail and underneath it, then soak your feet in a bowl of vinegar with a little water, it won't hurt you, it stinks though, but it does help, in a week or so your nails should clear up, and not be as thick!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well first of all to get your feet looking back to the way they look when you where a small child of 6 get some lotion!.

If your heels are dry and cracked then what you should use is "GOLD BOND FOOT CREAM" it has triple action relief and it relieves dry irritated skin, soothes & softens and it cools and revitalizes your feet, and it also heals "DRY, ROUGH AND CRACKED HEELS"!.

Your toenails you have toe nail fungus you need to tackle that from the inside "you seen the ad on tv where that don't know what's it called but anyways it crawls under a toe nail" and the narrator starts talking about a pill prescribed by a doctor when taken goes right to the sorce of the problem and in a few weeks it clears up the fungus, but ask your doctor about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The best advice is to take $25 and get a good pedicure!. (I have really dry feet) it helps allow them them to work on your feet and get to the really dry areas and file your toes, and cut them -

Otherwise if that is out of the question!. Fill a basin (get it and bed/bath and beyond etc) and those crystal pretty rocks - use a sudsy all natural soap and sit and soak those feet (the rocks help pressure points)
use a pumice stone (drug store) and work on the areas that are rough - and find a great herbal foot cream!.
Apply when you dry off and again at bed time sleep with socks on!.
Use the pumice daily in the shower and soak the feet once a week - after they are soft trim nails!.

DO NOT USE VASELINE - contrary to what every person thinks it's a product that isn't healthy for dry skin!. It actually dries your feet out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need a rigourous footcare regime that you follow daily!.

Include washing, applying cream, defoliating, massage and pampering!.

Look in your local chemists in the foot care dept, talk to the pharmacist!.

Don't wear the same pair of shoes daily!. Wear cotton or cotton rich or wool socks!.

Black toenails maywell be caused by wearing an inferior sports shoe!. This is often the case with sports people, you are a 'child' and maybe can't afford the best!. Get your parents to help with the bills if you can!. Get professional advice on buying the best fitting shoe, hard when your feet are still growing!. It is not easy to throw away an expensive pair of shoes that still have life left in them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Pedicures! They will take care of the bottom of your feet and clip, file, and paint your nails! Not to mention the massage!. It is worth every penny! It also helps to keep a foot file in your shower and hit up the bottom of your feet every time you shower!. Then apply lotion after your shower and before you go to bed every day!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like you have athletes foot!. They have new medicines now that you can take internally!. You should go back & see a doctor & ask him for it!. It's called Lamisil but it's a pill instead of a cream!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I hear tee tree oil is good for bad nails!. Otherwise you will need a prescription!.
Dry feet!.!.!. any lotion or vaseline at night and wear thin socks to bed EVERY NIGHT until they are better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

wear socks everywhere, or shoes without socks or boots without socks!. They will get really soft and nice!. After they get all soft and nice, come on over and give me a FJ ; )Www@Answer-Health@Com
