Question : I have constantly dry feet. Heel: The skin on the heel of my foot is crusty around the sides and on the bottom of the heel is dry. Ball of my foot: The skin on the ball of my foot behind my toes on the sole of my foot is quite hard. I have been using a pedegg professional and then using barefoot botanicals S.O.S rescue me cream. This has improved the dry skin. Should I be doing anything else? I feel like I'll be doing this for maybe 1 year before it will be all clear. I walk quite a lot in dress shoes for the office. I cycle in cycle shoes and I swim. I apply the treatment - scrapping off the skin and applying the cream after I swim when my feet are at their softest. Appreciate your help and advice. XXXXXXX

Brief Answer: Multivitamin supplements Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for your query. Applying barefoot botanicals S.O.S rescue me cream alone would suffice and do not apply any other cream when applying the same. I would recommend taking multivitamin supplements which would help for regeneration of healthy and glowing skin. Also it would help the cream to perform better. A brand like Becosules or Cobodex one capsule per day for a month would be recommended. Wish you good health. Regards,
