Kerasal has worked wonders overnight, I used it twice yesterday and my heels are almost baby smooth.

I don't go for a pedicure again until it is healed.
But if yours is red or bleeding and getting worse....you should see a DR.
Hubby poo pooed me when he got a split on his heel and ended up with a staph infection he got showering at the YMCA....

There's a diffrence between a crack and a cut. I get cracks because of my feet get dry. Vasoline and socks help.

Type 2 diabetes in the early stages has no symptoms at all. You could have it and not know it. Wounds that don't heal might be a sign of it. I would see a Dr just to rule that out. They will pick your finger and test your blood
If you have a friend that has it, they can test you with their meter. It's nothing to fool around with and it won't just go away

If this is something you've dealt with for quite awhile, and there is no change in the cut that signals an infection, I would work intensely on healing the wound. I would hold off on the pedicures for at least a month, to avoid risk of infection.
This sounds like a skin tear to me, based on your very dry skin. I would seal it with the liquid bandage, keep your feet coated with Vaseline or coconut oil to prevent further tears, and stay off the foot as much as possible.

I admit it, I cannot stop laughing...lol See a doctor seems like the logical answer.

I'm glad you saw a doctor. I'm glad you're healing. I'm glad you own your own home and car, too!
Hopefully, you will hold off on your next pedicure for longer than two weeks after it heals completely. For your safety and safety's sake of others.
