[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 434891, member: 1233"] I haven't read all the responses, but have a few thoughts. Diabetes is one - she needs that A1C test to see. It is a fasting blood test that shows how likely you are to have diabetes or if you have it. A LOT better and easier than the fasting glucose they do for preg women. She also needs to clean them more often. If she showers regularly, go and get that easyfeet thing in the As Seen on TV section. It sticks to the shower floor with suction cups and has brushes on the bottom and top to clean your feet with-o bending over. Even if she won't soap them it will be better than nothing. This may be a type of psoriasis or eczema. If so, she will need to care for them better. My psoriasis for a long time only showed on my feet. The entire bottom of my foot would peel of in sheets of skin liek sunburn but much much thicker sheets. They would crack and then start to come off like that. It felt like walking on glass shards - every single step. It was NOT normal callouses but took twenty five years to get anyone to tell me what it is. The most likely big issue is a yeast infection. Athlete's foot or something like it. I have found that the foot creams like lamisil are outrageously expensive and pretty much are close to the vaginal yeast creams. I use miconazole (the cheapest yeast cream I can find - NOT in prefilled applicators) and it helps a lot. It also helps with some patches on the kids. We tried everything, esp when they show on J's face, but this is the only thing that works. IT may be called lots of things, jock itch, yeast infection,athlete's foot, etc... but that cream works on all of it. Would it work if you had a basket for her to keep them in? What daily routine does she have that this can be tied to? For years my hands were like sandpaper on the tops as well as the palms. The knuckles were the worst and often bled just from being in cold weather. I started putting cuticle cream from burts bees or that neutrogena hand cream on them really thick, not at all rubbed in as I drove to and from work. It was awesome. You can also get the chapped hands remedy hand cleaner from the CO Bigelow collection at bath and body works. It looks like vaseline but has other things to help your skin. You rub it into dry skin then rinse off instead of using soap when you are washing your hands. It works very well. I hope that some of this helps.
