When I have dry crackly skin on my foot it goes away when my talus bone on my foot gets a chiropractic adjustment. It could be a subluxation(minor dislocation) of one of your foot bones. Check to see if the dry foot has diminished range of motion in any direction.
There are several possibilities here. IMO, it is best to build healthy moist skin from the inside out. This starts with drinking enough water ie 2-4 quarts a day, eating enough calories starting with 2500 a day, and eat at least one mono meal of oranges a day and about 10 or more. The high vitamin C content is great for collagen and promoting strong skin.
You will probably see overall good results with the following:
Diet in a Banana Peel
Eat a primate like diet where most carbohydrates and calories come from whole raw ripe fruits supplemented with about ½-2 pounds of lettuce greens a day (not kale and spinach) and about a handful of raw nuts or seeds a day. Eat enough on a daily basis with at least 2500 calories for females and at least 3000 calories for males. Drink 2-4 quarts of water a day and pee clear. Get 8-12 hours of sleep as needed. Exercise about 30 minutes a day 5-6 days a week with at least one day off for rest and repairs. Get about 30 minutes of sunshine a day on your skin for vitamin D, mental health, eye health, and healthy bones and teeth.
For more science behind how to this diet optimally for long term success:
I use an ointment from a brand called Gehwol. It's a German brand. Works great. I have cracks in my heels for years, before going raw or vegan. They were caused by using wrong sandals. It remains a weak spot
I've tried using Vitamin E oil on it with success. I put some on, cover it with socks and go about my day, or even at night before bed (but I don't like socks in bed, so I usually hang my feet off the side of the bed to avoid getting the oil on the sheets). Try looking for a brand called Jason and get one with like 10,000 IU (I think I have a bottle that is 32,000 IU and has a little stick to with with).
From what I can tell I seem to get the cracked heels in dry weather and when I walk barefoot on the upstairs carpet - maybe it sucks the water out or something and it doesn't seem that soft.
I don't know if the Vitamin E is the real solution or the barrier it creates to keep in moisture. Either way, it worked for me! (you could also try other oils...olive, coconut, etc, but the Vit. E was thick and it seemed to work faster)
