Does Anyone Soak their Feet? (Random:)

Just wondering what you use, if anything. I have really dry skin on my feet. It peels a lot near my toes and was thinking of soaking them in something but I don't know what.

Isn't there a salt of some sort? Anyone know of any miracle remedies for me?

Thanks!
Casey

Maybe you have athelete's foot...? Try some over-the-counter lotions.

for athlete's foot, i like to use a small amount of chlorine bleach in water to soak.

for dry skin, lanolin hydrous (water lanolin emulsion) or la leuer oil (lanolin and mineral oil)

Don't play with athlete's foot, Casey. It can boomerang on you later.

My suggestion is to soak periodically in a strong, very warm solution of Epsom Salts, and dry thoroughly afterward. You can use a topical treatment like Tinactin, etc, but once fungal infections have settled in (especially under nails) you're never going to win - just fighting a war of attrition.
