To treat dryness, you should moisturize the skin once or twice daily. Foot soaking is not necessary, and tends to dry out the skin even more by leaching vital oils. Avoid placing moisturizer in between toes, as this can increase the likelihood fungus will develop. If fungus does infect the foot skin, it will cause Athlete's foot. This condition creates redness and itching on the bottom of the feet or in between the toes, and needs medical treatment to destroy the invading fungus. Sometimes over-the-counter medication works well, and sometimes prescription medication is needed. Skin can also become thinner over time. Because of this, sores, scrapes, blisters or minor cuts may need medical attention as healing can take longer. The feet should be protected for this reason by wearing properly fitted shoes at all times.Corns and calluses are caused by pressure from bones as they squeeze overlying skin against your shoes or the ground. As we age, the natural fat pad in our feet slowly move and shrink, making bones more prominent.
Anyway, the wedding was scheduled for Wednesday so, to kill time on Tuesday, Peter got our whole group of ten people (counting the kids) together for a catamaran sail down the coast. Have you ever been to Jamaica? If you have, does the phrase "Dunn River Falls" fill your heart with terror. Oh, I'm exaggerating! It's probably not too bad for you younger, more athletically inclined kids. I, however, am a little longer in the tooth and a bit of a klutz to begin with! They start the tour by making you rent what they laughingly call "water shoes" for $5.00 per pair. These are like ballet slippers with grooved rubber soles to help you climb through the water. Most of the shoes I saw must have been used by Columbus when he came ashore. They were old, with smooth bottoms and, with my pair, holes on the ends of both shoes where my big toes stuck out and about three sizes to small. I should have traded my shoes in for a first aid kit.
Last week I told you about our trip to Jamaica and this is the end of the story.
If you remember, the purpose of the trip was to attend my life partner's son, Peter's, wedding. He married a wonderful California girl named Danni (short for Danielle). Peter and Danni wanted to get married in a gazebo on the beach in Jamaica. They arrived on Friday because they had a multitude of things to arrange and had to be in Jamaica for three days to establish residency. More about the wedding later.
This causes a protective build-up of skin under our feet where the bone prominence lies, as well as on the tops of the toes that are contracted up against shoes. Softening corns and calluses with a daily moisturizer and using a pumice stone or file after showering will help smooth them out. Avoid medicated corn pads, as they can burn the surrounding healthy skin. More severe corns and calluses may require professional trimming and padding, or even surgery to correct the underlying bone prominence.Nails are also part of the skin. Over time, nails can become thickened, malformed, and discolored. This may be due to a nail fungus, which can also cause pain and nail lifting. Nail fungus is difficult to treat, and infected nails are difficult to trim by oneself. Options for treatment include a prescription pill, specially formulated topical oils, or toenail removal. The nails can also look abnormal due to bruising or other medical conditions which can mimic nail fungus.
Well, here I am at the end and didn't even tell you about the wedding and our trip into town yet. Will have to get to that next week. Hang in there with me, folks, and remember your last trip to Jamaica - or your next

Well, we started climbing the falls. Yes! Climbing the falls! I don't mean on stairs or an elevator alongside the falls. I mean IN the falls! Yes, you will get wet! In my case, I got soaked. You are trying to climb along from smooth stone to smooth stone, but sometimes you slip. At one point, I even went completely under. Thank the deity that I did not bring my digital camera along! Navigation was not a problem - just keep going UP! At least the water quality was great. Cool
