[pct-l] Cracked feet Question

[dsaufley at sprynet.com]

Shutterbug,

There is a product out called "Skin Crack Care" made by 3M.  I not one to let callouses build up, and subscribe to the "keep 'em smooth" philosophy.  Even so, I've managed to get a couple of these nasty skin cracks (probably from wearing Chacos w/o socks), and used the 3M product with great success.  I think it contains some kind of glue that you can use on your skin.  It really helped the painful little wounds to heal quickly.  It's worth a try.

>Returned from 900 miles of hiking two weeks ago with hardly a problem with my feet.  My skin did get very thick.  Since my return on my my left HEEL there is a 1/2 crack that hurts when I walk especially when I put shoes on.  It looks like the crack occured where an OLD blister kind of got caulloused over.  Since my hike I have been wearing mostly sandles or barefeet.  I am fearful that this crack - because of where it is will NOT heal and will get bigger - maybe even infected.  I thought there might be some skin like "super glue" that might fix this problem and am counting on the experts here to have some good advice.
