Alligator Feet

by Rabbit615, Oct 22, 2007 09:24AM
I am in desperate need of help. The bottom of my feet is so rough and hard. They are really bad.  I get pedicure after pedicure only to have the dry skin come back after 2 weeks. I read somewhere that this could be some form of athletes feet. Does anybody else have this problem If so what do you do about it? Thank you in advance for your feedback. Thank you

it's hard to say w/ out seeing your feet.  perhaps you should see a foot dr.  a lot of times if you are getting pedicures they are exfoliating the bottoms of your feet.  if they do this it is only natural to build up some rough skin or calluses.  the key is to be consistent w/ pedicures and moisturizing at home.  sleep w/ a pair of cotton socks on after you have cleaned and moisturized your feet.  if this doesn't help and you have dry and itchy feet you might have a more in depth issue.  at that point seek professional advice.
