SLATHERED it on. During the day, I used the lighter creams. Aquaphor also was a good bet...I find that the lighter stuff, like Udderly Smooth just wasn't cutting it. Wearing socks with creams at night was a must, not only did it help my feet, but the socks provided a barrier so that the sheets didn't hurt my feet. You have to keep up on it and use the heavier stuff. I couldn't use the bagbalm because it made my feet break out in blisters, and I never had that happen with the Burts Bees. <br /><br />I never could find anything which helped the burning sensation, but the other worked well on the cracking. <br /><br />I had my last Xeloda tablet on 2/12, and my feet are still shedding like snakes, although I don't have the tightness, swelling and tenderness I had before. I also noticed that the farther along in my treatment, the less peeling I had...little pieces rather than the sheets of skin which lifted off the balls of my feet at first, although that could have been a function of the reduced dose.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15140675211931598431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787870704746283416.post-52967708642095508712013-03-13T18:22:42.327-07:002013-03-13T18:22:42.327-07:00Thank you for sharing your experience.

My feet are much worse than my hands and although I've tried many things, nothing has really controlled the peeling. Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12078286536700192525noreply@blogger.com
