Don't buy a $800 cream, that's insane! Urea is a common moisturizer ingredient, and there are many reputable brands of urea on Amazon:
You likely won't see much difference between 30% and 40%, in my opinion.
There are some combination creams. Topix sells a product called Glycolix that's 15% urea and 15% glycolic acid. Studies have shown that urea works even better when combined with salicylic acid, and glycolic acid should be similar. It's also sold under the brand name Replenix, for some reason. It's a bit expensive, and I've not tried it, but it should be good.

Ooh, I have a good one!
My routine consists of: Sugar + coconut oil scrub, vaseline, and dr. scholls Ultra overnight foot cream as well as cotton socks (the cotton part is key here). You'll want to add one of those graters to it and maybe a pumice.
I start off by soaking my feet in some nice bath soak stuff for 10 minutes to soften the skin (the softening here is really crucial to get the most out of your removal). Then I combine the coconut oil with sugar to make a nice scrub, and I massage it into my feet and scrub the heck out of them. After that, you'll want to use the grater and/or pumice (both may be a little much at first). Then slather the heck out of them with vaseline. Vaseline fixes everything- they even make a specialized lip tub that heals the cracks in my lips practically overnight. Anyway, once you've covered them in vaseline, slip cotton socks over them and then go to bed with that on.
Alternate between the vaseline and the Dr. Scholls. I do this routine once every two weeks (I do the scrub once a week, but only vaseline/dr scholls every two), but your feet need much more care (since I've been doing this for over 5 years now), so you'll probably want to do it 2-3 times per week. Alternatively, you could also use Burt's Bees Coconut foot creme instead of the Dr. Scholls. I actually alternate between the three of them, but mainly stick to the vaseline and Dr. Scholls.
I know the idea of slathering vaseline on your feet is weird, but trust me-it works so well. The same healing it does on my lips it also does on my feet. And make sure the socks are cotton! They must be cotton in order to let the feet breathe at the same time.
Good luck! This routine has helped my feet immensely and keeps most of the calluses away. My feet never peel anymore, and they look pretty good.
Second this! Urea is your friend. Gold Bond Triple-Action Foot Cream is a good start.
I use this cream Urea 40% Foot Cream once a week as a deep treatment and Eucerin Professional Repair daily on the rest of the body.
Good luck!
Hello! Thanks so much for this information. I have had eczema strictly around my ankles just like OPs post describes. I have tried everything possible on it. I am happy there is this one solution I haven’t heard off before thanks to you. Can you confirm if this is the same thing you used?

Thanks!!
Avon's Maximum Strength Cracked Heel Cream has been my go-to for years for my otherwise constantly-cracked and calloused heels. You can get it on Amazon, which makes it easier than finding an Avon rep. https://www.amazon.com/Foot-Works-Avon-Therapeutic-Cracked/dp/B001EDOI8C
http://smile.amazon.com/Alpha-Hydrox-Extra-Strength-Therapy/dp/B00JZKI5GM/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1457042321&sr=8-1&keywords=alpha+hydrox+foot
it's 12%!
Foot cream works pretty well for me. I dab my cuticles with this, massage my cuticles slightly and leave it overnight. You can also use a cuticle remover/softener like this and gently push back your cuticles. I think it's okay as long as I don't overdo it. I use the Revlon cuticle remover once a week maybe. It's also a good idea to moisturize your cuticles every time you wash your hands with soap. And dab your cuticles with vaseline before you remove your polish. This prevents the cuticles from drying out from the acetone.
Hope this helps.
If you've been to a Doctor (more than one) and nothing has helped; try Bag Balm:
You can read about it here (and buy it) and it's also available at some pharmacies and sometimes Target/WalMart will have it.

It's really great. You can put it on at night and wear gloves to bed for a nice all night moisturizing!

I am getting the runners a foot repair salve that I really like for after my long runs. It's J.R. Watkins Foot Repair Salve. You just put it on all over the bottoms of your feet after a long run (or whenever you have some hot spots or blisters) and it helps them heal. The peppermint helps cool the hot spots and is really soothing ingeneral. I would wait until Amazon has it for a lower price--I bought 2 tins for about $8 each, and as of this posting it's $9.65.
Thanks. I found this: Bayer Dermal Therapy Heel Care, 90ml https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00HHXX5IM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_vVoWBb34CKT3H
It says Urea 25%? Is that a bit high? Is that a problem?
My psoriasis is on the side of my feet mostly, and I wouldn't call it extreme.
I used to deal with nasty flats until I learned a different way. First, I spray Earth Therapeutics Tea Tree Oil Foot Spray (I buy mine from Ulta) on my feet to keep bacteria/smells from forming, and then I powder my feet with Mexsana to keep them dry. I only wear shoes with leather lining (none of that fabric or metallic looking liners) and never wear the same flats two days in a row to let them air out. I don't really deal with bad smelling flats anymore after doing this.
Aveti idee, gasesc pe undeva in Romania produse de la Gena, in special lotiunea Callus Off?

If you want to soften your heels, you have to try this if the volcano mask doesn't. I got this in my last PopSugar Must Have subscription box and used it one night without actually reading about it. After my time was up, I rinsed my feet off and took a bath. As I was shaving my legs, I noticed some skin peeling on my foot and was like "huh?" I had such dry think skin though that I gladly starting peeling it off and even used Lush's pumice power to get as much off as possible. My feet have never felt softer! It's the only product I've ever gotten in a subscription box that I've loved so much!
In the winter, I use this Microplane foot rasp (gives a whole different type of Parmesan cheese), followed by this Gold Bond heel cream (it's cheaper in stores, but it can be kind of hard to find, though I've had luck at WalMart), and put on a pair of socks. Works SO well.
Kinda looks like he used that Japanese baby foot product: http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Foot-60mins-Japanese-Ver/dp/B00HAQWLT0
I find this stuff http://www.amazon.com/ProLinc-Callus-Eliminator-Fluid-Ounce/dp/B00011JZWW is amazing for removing calluses & dry skin on feet. I use this http://www.amazon.com/ProLinc-Heel-Eliminator-Fluid-Ounce/dp/B009Y2110I to moisturize them.
This might help https://www.amazon.com/Miracle-Aloe-Instantly-Luxuriant-Ingredients/dp/B004R6OTI2
I personally really like these by Missha. They have a good amount of product inside the booties and they make my feet feel nice. I'm not convinced they have a huge effect other than short term hydration, but I find them very relaxing :)
I think hyperhidrosis exacerbates skin conditions like eczema, especially on feet, because your toes will be exposed to damp conditions in shoes for very long stretches of time. I think the initial stages of iontophoresis are going to be very painful for you because of the raw skin, but I wouldn't be surprised if it helps with the eczema symptoms as well as the hyperhidrosis. I would start with very, very low current and use vaseline as others have instructed.
I would also suggest, before you start iontophoresis, maybe taking a week or two to really focus on healing your feet. Things that have worked for me include changing my socks (and best case scenario shoes as well) once or twice during work. I'll let my feet air out a little bit under my desk as well if possible trying not to draw too much attention. I've also found that slathering on gold bond triple action foot cream before bed (especially between toes which is where my skin would flake the most) helped immensely http://www.amazon.com/Gold-Bond-Triple-Action-Relief/dp/B001ET78HY
Good luck!
