Hello ladies, since I started HRT I noticed that my feet became rough and dry and my heels are really cracked. I guess this is more of a girl thing, since I am barefoot all the time and I wear sandals and flip flops a lot. I wonder if this is a result from estrogen as it makes your skin more gentle, is any of you having such issue?
It's the same with me. I don't think it's HRT though because I had the same problem before HRT. I keep it pretty much under control by rasping it off in the shower every once in a while and grinding it with this battery powered circular stone I got.
I go barefoot most of the time and when I do wear shoes it's normally either flip flops or a pair of super minimalist sandals I have for running. Keeping my feet out of shoes helps to minimize the issue.

We use an aha ( alpha hydroxy acid) based foot cream. Great for callouses.
Same for me as suffer from dry skin anyway, have been using O'keiths hand cream on them and that's working

Aha!!! ;)
I use stuff called Dermal Therapy. It's intended for diabetics, but one of the women doing a pedicure on me recommended it.
BTW, have you gone for a pedicure? Removing callouses is part of the process.
I have also tried pedicures but the results are short term and after a few days my heels are cracked again. I use pumice stone but I have to do it every day if I want to keep them smooth. Overall, it's not something that is bothering me that much, I was curious if others have this issue as well. If you want you post pictures pre-pedicure and after pedicure to see the results. I will post some soon.
