Soles of feet like very strange

[tristin]

Hi All, have not been on here for 8 months - had a good run - so to speak. Hoping if I tried not to focus on RA it might go away (LOL). Asking for some foot advice please.

Feet are continuosly dry and cracking. If I move my toes it feels like sole is thick and loose. Anybody had this symptom and a remedy please? I have recently stopped prednizone. May not be related as I think this condition has been coming on for years. Calamine lotion reduces the irritation. Sorbolene moisturiser helps a bit.

I am in Australia so time difference re comments.

This seems to happen more often with sweaty feet and I can never work out why my socks are always damp from my feet. Although my hands are hot as well. I take my socks off and dry them or change them. And I use beeswax frequently on the skin to stop it cracking.

Thank you old timer. Yes feet seem always wet. What form does the bees wax come in please?

I get it on line - it's for gardeners I think to protect their hands, but I find it very effective for my feet. Have a internet search for local suppliers of beeswax cream.

The 1st thing I’d say is up you water intake considerably.

Switch to unscented soaps etc (if you can get any!!)

All the best

Similar, the skin on my big toes is so hard and dry, it has split. My toe nails are the same. I'm on long term, low dose pred.
