This is an post from the Podiatry Management Online Newletter. Thank you.


NY Podiatrist Provides Tips for Dry Skin on Feet

If you've got parched, cracked heels, you'll need an ointment containing acids (like salicylic or lactic) to break down dead cells, says Dr. Youner, who likes those from Kerasal.
