If you are in the UK then I would recommend Boots intensive care foot cream for dry skin - it certainly does the trick for me - so much so that I actually use it on my face as well to keep my skin really soft

[Lexie26 in reply to Gambit62]

Great. Thank you. I'll give that a go.

[Southeastgirl in reply to Gambit62]

I'll have to try the Boots one! 😁

[burgerlady in reply to Gambit62]

I live in the US and diabetics often use Boots here too. You should try that.

Flexitol is very good...and specifically for diabetics. But it is expensive

[Lexie26 in reply to Southeastgirl]

Thank you. Yes, I have had it before and found it to be very good.

Hi,

I have a cream called katseye blends,

Its totally herbal and no parabens/MEA/DEA

I have very dry skin an my feet and legs and itching.

This cream is fantastic and actually is made from ancient recipes.

My elbows and knees were dry and cracking, a few days of the SSM cream or the plain moisturiser and what a difference it makes.

Good luck

[Lexie26 in reply to mrdarcy1]

Thank you.

Small detail: don’t leave cream between the toes.

My gp prescribes zeroderm for me. I didn’t like it at first but it works brilliantly and if you have to buy it a tub is quite nice and cheap.

I find GlucoRX Allpresan very good for me and it doesn't leave a sticky mess.

Diabetic Footmender is fantastic Its expensive but if in uk you should be able to get it on prescription. You notice a difference after just one application.
