A member asked:
My feet crack and are dry, esp on the heels. i run quite a lot. i've tried lots of creams, and vaseline helps. any other alternatives?

Dry heel skin: You're on to something using Vaseline. Try scraping or scrubbing off dry hard skin, cover with a thick moisturizing cream or balm (recommended by your pharmacist) and then seal it off with Vaseline.
