Someone had posted about the dry skin and what to use . I’ve been using Eucerin advanced repair foot cream. As you can see my foot is not dry at all and feels very soft Kim Turner Hey at what point can you moisturise your foot and scar? I'm 17 days post op and my foots so dry and the scar is so tight but still scabbed so unsure. And would you wait a few more weeks before letting it get wet? Pics in comments thanks Louise Yogini How many weeks post-op did your scab completely fall off? I am 6 weeks post-op and still have a small portion of scab. I am allowed to get a pedicure when it has completely fallen off. I am, of course, letting it be there until it decides to fall off. But I wish it would hurry up. Mamma needs a pedicure. HappyOtter7017 After 4 long weeks my feet are finally free!! Doctor did not wrap them back up today and cleared me to wear regular shoes! My skin is so dry and cracked ughhh. But any tips? I have a pressure sore on the side of my foot from being wrapped so tightly. And my incision sites are still sore I had both feet done at the same time also corn removed from both pinky toes those stitches are dissolvable but he told me be careful nothing rubs a Natasha Johnson I’m 1 month post-op (33 days). Although I’ve been waiting for the dead skin to start shedding, I guess I wasn’t expecting it be this much. Especially since it wasn’t there last night!! I moisturize every morning w/coconut oil and at night w/vaseline. **NOT directly on my incision site, though, because it isn’t scab-free yet.** Then I apply my silicone socks for about 15 minutes before bed. Lynn Miller Prinz I am 5 weeks post op. The itching on the top of my foot and around my ankle is driving me crazy. I dont think it is dry skin as I've used lotion or Vaseline every day since my bandage was removed. I think it is nerves. Anybody else experience this? Thinking about asking doctor for gabapentin. a day ago Learn More 2 days ago August 8 at 12:51 PM August 6 at 10:17 PM July 27 at 3:47 PM Learn More July 22 at 5:27 PM
