After drying, I follow that with a rub of fresh Aloe Vera. Scales and cracks gone. YMMV  SignatureNick. Support severely wounded and disabled Veterans and their families!

I > would like to know as I would like to get some for my cracked heel > thanks shelly I haven't tried the diabetic formula. I tried the regular crack cream on my fingers. Did nothing for me. But then I learned that my cracks are actually a medical condition called dishydrosis. Now that I know the cause, I can better treat it. I have dishydrosis, too. I wonder if that's a condition due to diabetes? I am a Type 2 diabetic.

Try a nce rich cream at night and then sleep with socks on or even a petroleum jelly or even Bag Balm both of which stay on the skin and then the socks over athin layer of the stuff for sleeping. Wendy I dont know the product you are referrint to, but I do know that Burts Bees foot pointment works.

I don't put anything on my feet. I still have my diabetes, but no cracking. Nev. put petroleum jelly (Vaseline) on your feet, then socks to keep the petroleum jelly from staining your bedding or use Lanolin (with socks as well) the 2 cheapest solutions i know of kate > Hi Guys It's shelly > > Does anyone know if the zim's diabetic formula crack creme work?

I > would like to know as I would like to get some for my cracked heel > thanks shelly I had that problem, Big toe cracked too. Painful. Feels like a nail in your shoe all the time. The problem is dry skin. I use to put vasoline and a big band aid on the crack and it would heal in a day. Trouble is it kept reoccurring. All you have to do, what I do now, is put skin lotion on your feet after every shower. I just use Aloe with cucumber lotion. No more cracking. No more thick, dry, peeling and flaking skin. > Hi Guys It's shelly > > Does anyone know if the zim's diabetic formula crack creme work?

But I've used "super glue" many times to close cuts/ cracks with excellent results.
