Dermatitis
"I&#039;ve suffered from eczema since I was born. No plastic diaper cover etc. Born in 1960 doc&#039;s did a lot of odd treatments that didn&#039;t work. Finally, in mid 70&#039;s it went to my feet. My heels cracked also between the toes. The cracks were often over 1/2&quot; deep, bled, &amp; never closed. Of course the doctors declared that it was athlete&#039;s foot! I had to put a OTC solution that has alcohol as #1 ingredient! I couldn&#039;t walk in the mornings, bled on things, &amp; was tortured by athlete&#039;s foot meds for years! 
Finally I was diagnosed with eczema &amp; allergic to most trees, grasses, weeds, soaps, perfumes etc. Zinc oxide on the feet wrapped in a sock &amp; plastic bag almost &quot;cured&quot; the cracks. Coal tar topical shampoos &amp; face really helped too!"
