As a teen, I had real issues with my feet. Especially my heels. They would get dry,
really dry, and then these cracks would show up. The callous was so thick and the cracks so deep, you could slip a dime into them before hitting raw flesh. And then the cracks would start to peel in big, scaley pieces.
And what was my solution? Well, I had this Buck knife...it was really supersharp...and I'd give myself pedicures with it. To this day, I don't know how my mother managed to keep from swatting me crosseyed. I had
such a gift for grossing her out.
