I have hideous feet. The skin is very thick and dry, and it cracks all the time. It's also very dark colored on the balls of my feet and the heels, so my feet constantly look dirty.

I get blisters very easily, and recently they have stopped going away. The ones that I get on the tops and sides of my feet will pop and shrink, but they stay red or a dark brown color. They ones on the balls of my feet turn white and the skin cracks open. It doesn't bleed or leak or anything, it just cracks and starts to peel off. Unfortunately, it never peels all the way off, and I have to use toenail clippers to cut the extra skin off, because it's too thick to pull.

My question is, is there anything that could make my feet normal? Is this some kind of disease, or do I just have icky feet? I've tried covering them in layers of lotion and putting socks on at night, but even that doesn't help (although it does feel disgusting). I would really like to be able to wear sandals or walk barefoot without being embarrassed about my feet anymore.
