- Title
THE MOISTURISING PROPERTIES OF A HEEL BALM IN PATIENTS WITH ROUGH DRY SKIN.
- Authors
Dykes, Peter
- Abstract
Dry plantar skin affects many older people and can result in callous and fissuring, which can reduce mobility of sufferers, cause pain, and in the case of patients with diabetes, is associated with increased risk of ulceration. This article compares the use of two specialist foot creams, one a daily application and the other a twice-daily application, to examine the effect on patient compliance.
