Hia - my feet are suffering a bit from drying out heels. I have a big tub of emulsifying ointment BP in the house which I think my doc prescribed for me to use in the shower for back skin problems. I have read you can apply this directly and just wanted to ask if anyone else uses this for dry skin? It's still well within date.
 
Yes, can apply direct to treat dry skin, a few times a day eg when you change socks / shoes. Especially when skin is wet after after a shower of bath.
