Dipping your feet into vinegar, lemon and garlic rubs. Alternate between these and wash diligently esp. underneath the nails. Also watch you r diet. it really works, much better than all of those creams.

Oil 'em up. After soaking and rubbing, use a moisturizing cream to help keep your feet soft, says Dr. Stone. "I like vitamin E cream or vitamin E oil (not vegetable oil), which penetrates the skin very nicely."\n\nCushion the worst offenders. To lessen pain from soft corns between your toes, work a tuft of lamb's wool between your toes, suggests Dr. Stone. Lamb's wool is available at drugstores.\n\nPad 'em. Traditionally, adhesive-backed felt, called moleskin, was used as a doughnut-type pad around corns and calluses to take pressure off them. The women whom Dr. Stone treats seem to prefer a new synthetic material, Cushlin, available at most drugstores in Dr. Scholl's products. The material is thin, soft, resilient and rubbery. It doesn't flatten out and holds up well. Cut sheets of the material to pad around, not over, your corn or callus.\n\nBuy shoes that fit. Narrow shoes can contribute to corns and calluses; shoes with room for the toes are less likely to do so. To size up prospective shoes, says Nancy Elftman, a certified orthotist/pedorthist (a professional shoe fitter) in La Verne, California, trace your foot on a sheet of paper and take the paper with you when you go shopping for shoes. Then place the shoes you like on top of the tracing. If any of your foot tracing shows, the shoe is too short or narrow for your foot.\n\nLace up to save your toes. If you have corns on top of your toes, Elftman suggests lacing your sports shoes so that one lace goes from one bottom eyelet to the top eyelet on the opposite side. The other lace is alternated through the lace holes. Then, by pulling on the single lace, you can lift the toe box and give your toes more room. (This also helps if you have a long second toe.)

First of all, congratulations on your new home!  How exciting to spend a new Christmas in your own home. :o)\n\nConsidering your husband is a construction worker, I don't know if this is something men like, but I would figure he is on his feet a lot.  There are a lot of foot massage units out there that use warm water and such.  Some people don't like their feet messed with, but that's something I thought of.  \n\nGood luck to you!

Put cream on your legs or Vaseline, it'll keep your legs moist and help the socks stick to the skin...Good Luck!

When I was fitted for new walking/running shoes and had blisters the shoe guy told me I was wearing my socks too thick and didn't have the correct support.  He told me to put desitin cream or any baby rash cream on the blisters to keep the moisture away. \n It worked ASAP!

get some lamisil cream over the counter at Meijer or Walmart...it is like a disease like athlete's foot that makes it do that...the stuff works.

you need to change your socks a couple times a day and make sure your shoes are completly dried out.  also when you use the athletes foot make sure you spray your shoes with it also.\ndont wear the same shoes over and over again change your shoes at least every other day.  when you get home walk around bare foot your athletes foot should never come back.  \nthe key is to keep everything dry

You'd probably get a few more answers if you told us in the first place that you meant he has OILY skin. Use of the word "Butterfingers" here means "to drop things a lot or be generally clumsy" - so not being an expert I can only agree with what you've been told already: Wash, and use talc - BUT get him to see a Doctor, for all is not well with him.

The main thing you can do now is to keep them clean so you avoid infections. They make a neosporin with pain releiver in the ointment if they sting or are painful to the touch, this stuff works great for smaller cuts and scrapes.  You should also watch the types of spcks you wear because if they bunch up or don't breath well you can continue to have this problem or get blisters and cotton socks work the best for sweaty, hot feet. Good luck.

You could try rubbing them with vaseline at night and covering them with mittens or socks while you sleep.  Rubbing them with olive oil or Vitamin E oil might also help.

I suggest you to have a relaxing Indian massage (that is called ayurvedic) and, after that, a massage on your feet. It is Chinese and it is called "reflexology".\nAfter that drink some green tea, listening to a very soft music.\nAnother thing that is great is to watch a very funny movie and laugh. Laughing is one of the best thing you can do to relax.\nGood massage!

Registered Nurse here; First it will take some time, like 3 to 4 months of daily care for the calluses to resolve.  Soaking your feet for 30 minutes per day in warm water, followed with scrubbing with a sea sponge, there in expensive and can be purchased at bed and bath, wal-mart, target, etc.  Don't scrub hard enough to break the skin, but enough to began to break away the dead tissue, that's basically what calluses are.  After soaking, scrubbing, then apply deep moisturizer, such as pure Vaseline, or other rich lotion. Then cover your feet with thick socks to sleep in.  In morning, apply lotion and rub each foot for about 5 minutes.  Sorry there are no fast fixes for calluses, it takes time, dedication, and tender loving care to your feet.  \nThanks for the opportunity to address your question.

my feet are like a child's and the trick is to stay well hydrated, drink plenty of water and also take flax oil, this will lubricate your skin from the inside. \nYou can put on all the lotion you like but you need to work on whats going on inside.

A pumice stone works wonders - you can buy them at any grocery or pharmacy store for about 2 -3 dollars.  It's just a porous rock that you scrub your feet with and it takes off all the dead skin.
