Personally, I don’t get it. Foot rub sounds nice, but like not THAT nice. But I posted on a dermatology sub once and my DM’s blew up asking my gender. Just from dudes though. Are there some women who are perhaps more quietly excited by feet though? Random thought as I sit here grinding off my cracked heels…
I don’t even have a partner. I’m just really worried about my feet. I thought calluses were healthy because they protect your soles, but now I see they’re getting out of control and cracking.
It’s still good to take care of the cracking! It’s true that having some callous protects your feet from minor sharp stuff on the ground. But it’s just another instance of our bodies saying, “This helps me, so more must be better!” like with fat and fever and snot. If the cracking is really bad you can talk to a doctor about it. I think it can be connected to diabetes, and you want to watch out for any infection in the cracks.
Yeah, it started the same time my diabetes started and has improved when my A1C went back to near-nominal levels.
