Best moisturizer/lotion for feet? The podiatrist had some that was $50 for a bottle. Surely

there is something cheaper that is really good. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

1. Coconut oil.

Sold at groceries. Any kind will do. Put socks on after.

4. We had coconut oil on hand. I put it - with socks - on his feet last night. Will see how it looks

this AM when he get up out of bed.

2. Eucerin sure works well for us. It's thick. Wear socks with this one, too.

3. There are several products specifically for diabetics

This link is to Walgreens which has several with reviews. On thing I know that is different between diabetic moisturizers and other products is water in the product. Anyway these prices are not extreme.

5. I will get both of these - plus the coconut oil we already have - and see which one works best.

We did that for bug-bites we had - got three different ones - and continue to use the one he liked best.

Thanks!

7. I bought the Gold Bond. It works miracles!! Even after one application, I could tell

a difference. It has been three times now, and they don't look like the same feet. Thanks you SO much for suggesting this.

8. Glad to help.

9. I found that caster oil really works well. It seriously soaks in deep and helps the skin.

I have diabetes II. I go barefoot all the time because martial arts.

I regularly use castor oil to keep my feet from becoming dangerously dry.

10. This is what I use

I buy it at Walmart for about $8.

11. I now use this one too. I started out with the Gold Bond Cream, which

does a great job but is harder to apply. That is when I transferred over to the Gold Bond ultimate for Diabetics. I feel like it does just as good a job as the cream and a whole lot easier to work with.
