Question:

Dance feet?!?!?!?

ok i am a dancer & i have really bad callusoes on my feet...they never seem 2 go away, can someone help???


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You don't want your calluses to completely heal because otherwise your feet will hurt even more en pointe. The calluses end up protecting your feet and numbing the pain. Here are some ways to make them feel better.

There are a lot of foot products out there. I use Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Cream. It feels so good and also smells nice.They have something similar in peppermint smell, too.

Get a pedicure. They'll massage and help heal your feet a little bit.

Use better padding. What do you use? Ouch Pouches? Lambs wool? Cotton? Anything? Put surgical tape around your toes and calluses and stuff the padding tight. Some people use Neosporin with it, but I wouldn't because it tends to slide around and make things worse. Keep in mind that TOO much padding can actually be a bad thing.

Hope your feet are okay!
