How's Ye're Feet?

    Lads and Ladies. How's ye're feet?

    I've just gone to town on my heels with a PedEgg. WTF? Do Ye Have To Do This?

    What's with heels? The PedEgg and it's cohorts have several ads so I'm assuming it's not just me.

    Do you grate/cut/scrape your heels/foot/feet?

    The real reason I ask is hopefully there's a way to reduce this growth? . I think I have cut a full grown baby of my heels in the last number of years (PS I'm aged 37+).

    Plus I've have a peppermint and eucoylptis shít on the feet at the mo but as soon as I stood up to go to the jacks, I slid into the cabinet and broke some wine glasses.

    HELP!

    My brother has a verruca on his foot that he lets the dog lick.


    He's a strange fellow.

    I'm a freak apparently in that I have velvety soft feet, and I'm a guy :eek: I don't put anything on them to make them that way...they're just like that

    Used to, couldn't be much bothered since they stay covered, I've had way too many accidents with my feet so they stay protected. It is quite satisfying filing skin off though.

    I need that pedegg for my thumbs, they've built up hard skin from trying to get some life out of dying lighters :/

    I go for a pedicure every 4 weeks because I hate cutting my own toenails. Once a week I soak them in a foot spa, use a peppermint scrub on them, use a foot rasp on my heels and the balls of my toes. Sometimes ill put an intensive peppermint mask on, wrap it in cling film and pop a pair of socks on to keep the heat in.

    I have an intensive heel repair cream that I use after my shower at night time. I detest doing anything with my nails though, despite having all the tools I don't cut or file my own nails, I don't do any cuticle work and I don't paint them. That's what I have the pedicure for. Every three months or so, I get a callus peel with the pedicure.

    I wear heels a lot and my feet are wrecked from them, and those ballet pumps. I'm sure if I got better footwear my feet would be in better condition

    Fungal infection on one of my toenails. Just started to treat it recently. Why does all the medication for it take months to work?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,328 ✭✭✭conorh91


    This thread reminds me of that advertisement where the little cartoon man pulls up the infected toenail and hops inside. Disgusting.

    Do not read any further if you are a bit squeamish.












    I have had athletes foot twice in my life. Both times I cured it by pissing on my feet. No joke.
    Now there's a top tip of the day.:)

    Does either that ped egg or micro pedi yoke work? I have so much hard dead skin on my feet it is painful... I really need recommendations on how to treat it

    A manly man, therin lies the problem. Cracked heels (when wearing sandals), rough skin, and itchy toes. Not all at once mind, I'm not contagious or anything but I'm just wondering. Like Lexie, does the average person have a regime for their feet?

    Biko, again with the toe sucking questions? Leave it to the specialist thread. :pac:

    I really really really hate feet- I knew I shouldn't have opened this thread!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,720 ✭✭✭Sir Arthur Daley


    This thread is biased for people with multiple feet.

    I'd love a ped egg, it must work since OP's on about it !
    OP does it work really well ?

    I've horrible heels made worse by the fact I've psoriasis. I comes up as little bubbles of skin around the foot area, and I'm fierce conscious people looking at them might think I have a very bad and untreated fungus sort of thing.

    I hate feet too, they're so ugly. Hate nail varnish on toe nails, why the hell would you want to draw attention to the little stumpy type or (worse) scraggly type things ?

    Honestly never understood any sort of 'skincare routine' that anyone has.

    I mean at a stretch I could understand (and I certainly do appreciate!) women wanting to have softer skin etc.

    But in men I mean just.. what's the point like?

    I don't even care about it being supposedly un-manly or whatever, I just do not see any utility in it, unless there is a medical reason of course.

    It's f**king skin like! It's just there. It does it exactly what it says on the tin!

    People say you should use moisturiser and that it will keep you looking younger for longer and all that but it's a load of bollocks if you ask me.

    Bottom line is we are all going to look like **** when we get old, and no amount of snake oil is going to change that fact!

    War paint is carrying alot of pensioners very well. Some middle age people look like teeny bobbers with it.

    I felt bad for her when she turned blue in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. :)

    :D Yeah maybe, but give it another few years and they'll be ****ed as well!

    Also, I suppose that it's a weird dilemma for women seeing as how (i'm given to understand) that wearing make up actually is fairly unhealthy for the skin in the first place.

    Feel free to correct me though ladies as I am obviously not an expert!

    Why cannot men wear war paint?

    I think you're dead on. I'm a lady and I hate makeup. Not wearing it must be good for my skin though because whenever anyone learns my age they never believe I'm as old as I claim to be.
