With all the talk about feet and the weather I have to ask for advice.

I have a problem with the calluses on the bottom of my feet.-Alligator feet!

I have the cracking of the skin on my heels and around the edge of my soles.

They crack and bleed, some of the areas really hurt.

My sis came over and used her Dremel set up to smooth the rough areas, it made my feet softer, but the cracking got worse!

I have been wearing socks all the time because of the weather - I shower and put lotion on and a pair of socks because if I walk over a rug barefoot, it catches on the "scales" and I start to bleed!

I was wondering if anyone uses a lotion or can recommend anything to put on my soles to make them softer?
