Dry/cracked Skin on Feet- Any Suggestions?

Hello, I know this has nothing to do with being a mom, but I have extremely dry and cracked skin on the heels of my feet. It's so bad I might have to go to a dermatologist I think. Has anyone tried any lotions or other products that help? I usually file away at the skin on my feet, put a ton of lotion on, and put socks on. But they still look pretty bad. Thanks!

Dry Cracked Hands/knucles

I have tried just about all I know to get my hands/knuckles to stop cracking. My pinky knuckles and my index fingers are the worst. I put lotion on all day, try to make sure I dry them completely after I wash them. I've tried using just hand sanitizer. Right now I put peroxide and neosporin with band-aids overnight. I work in a day care so I am always washing my hands. They have cracked and healed so many times that they are beginning to scar. Any ideas from you great Moms would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, T.

Red/raw Skin Around Lips

My almost eight year old daughter has a very bad habit of licking around her lips during the winter months ( starting last winter). This causes a vicious cycle because it dries out the skin, making her lick it and then it's more red and becomes crusty. The fact that it's unsightly is bad enough but it's also a health concern as well. Last winter it allowed impetigo to occur because the broken skin became infected. Most things I have tried to put on her skin I am told "burn" and she won't use them. I have tried petroleum based products and...

Help! Burned Leg and Don't Want Scar!!

So, on Saturday I decided it would be a good idea for me to sit on my husband's new motorcycle and rev it up. I was wearing shorts. I knew to watch out for the hot pipes on the side, but my leg touched them anyway. Now I have an ugly burn and I don't want a scar. Does anyone know of a good product that will minimize scar potential? Thanks for your input!!!

Rash in Baby's Skin Creases

My 5 month old has a recurring irritation, possibly a rash in the crease of his neck. I'm very aware of his cute chunkiness when bathing him and always very gentle and thorough to get these creases clean, but the fold in his neck is always red. We have air conditioning, so I think I'm doing the best I can in reducing his sweating, but I was just wondering if anyone had any other suggestions on how to help it. He also has very sensitive skin and ezcema, so I'm apprehensive to use many lotions on him.
