Tips for peeling feet?

[pegkerr]

In other earth-shaking news, the bottoms of my feet, now that I'm in sandals for the summer, are peeling horribly. I tried a pumice stone on the rough patches and slathering Vaseline on them at night; but they are not in the least impressed by my efforts.

How do you keep your feet from flaking away?

Cracked feet may be a vitamin deficiency

I've had this problem too and NOTHING seemed to help. It's often much worse in the summer. One of my alternative healers (heelers. he he he) told me that it could be a result of a vitamin B12 deficiency. She suggested a B12 only supplement and omega 3/6/9. This seems to help whenever the flare ups occur. (I'm having one right now!) She also said too much folic acid can keep some people's bodies from absorbing b12 (I was taking a supplement with 1250% of the USRDA). You might want to work with an alternative healer or nutritional doctor on this problem. There is hope!
