<div>I use a cuticle remover to precisely slice off the sharp edges of the crack. If the crack is large and bleeding, I use super glue to close it up. I just found (at Wal-Mart) a tiny bottle of super glue which comes in a bottle like nail polish -- instead of the tube of super glue, it has a little brush which I can easly use to place the super glue on the crack.</div>

<div>Living in Kansas, I also experience very dry winters. Last winter, I started putting an over-the-counter heel balm on my feet. But then I got these little hard bumps on my feet which felt like small grains of sand under my skin. My podiatrist told me it was the heel balm getting trapped inside the sweat pores. He used a little tool which basically sanded down the skin over the bumps and cleaned out the pores. Then he gave me samples of AmLactin. The box calls it a moisturizing Body Lotion which moisturizes and exfoliates rough, dry skin. My feet are now crack-free. </div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">Anybody got a good remedy (home or store-bought) for those pesky cracks in one's callus around the heel's edge? These dry winters don't help matters any. Kinda want to get it under control now before the hiking season begins in earnest! <font face="Times-New-Roman" size="2"><br>
