Dad has got cancer and his feet are sore due to fluid. nw cracked and are really sore. is their a cream you can massage with pain relief for cracks?

Simplest thing: Would be something like vaseline but then to cover the foot with Saran wrap and put on socks when going to sleep. (not to be walked in). If you can get hold of a 40percent urea cream, that is my preference. Sometimes, a prescription is needed for this. Good luck and good job at taking care of your dad.
