Any tips on dry feet?

Question 1
Any tips on dry feet?...  So I'm 14 and my feet will get all dry on the bottom... like hard, if you know what I mean , not soft. Also around my heel it'll get cracked. My one friend told me to put on lotion on my feet and then put socks over them before I go to sleep.. Which seems to help a little . Anyone else have any tips?

Answers
1)   Try submerging them in water - Gangsta McAwesome!

2)   Vaseline works wonders and yes the socks work, but make sure they are cotton otherwise it doesnt work as well

I use Avon lavender foot mask/lotion I love it!! - Zoe

3)   Home remedy: rub lemon juice (squeeze a lemon) on them. Also: moisturize!!!! - Carl Sanchovick

4)   Rub Nutella over them and dangle them over the toaster. - PUCK YOU ----- Gilmour93

5)   Soak them in warm water and rub salt on them, as weird as that sounds, then before you go to bed put Vaseline on them before socks (:
I make my Boyfriend do it cause he has the same problem. it works like a charm (: - Ashley

6)   if its really bad your doctor can prescribe urea cream , it really helps alot. also, there is an over the counter lotion called Amlactin that works pretty well too - ♠Mrs Reznor♠

7)   try to soak your feet in warm water with epsom salt for 10-20 minutes daily.. after doing this, take a foot file (or even a finger/toe nail file) to carve down the callous'. the hard & dry part of your feet are thick skin built up, otherwise known as callous'. putting lotion on you feet will also help.. try to keep them very moisturized!
hope this helps! (: - xmisshaleyx

8)   You might try a moisturizing body wash, and/or a foot massage with a good lotion. - trekkie_88

Question 4
My cousin has got meningitis im scared!?...  can someone tell me what the basic meaning of it is and can it be treated i heard it can cuz perminant brain damage im scared he is in hospital on a drip please tell me this in basic terms

Answers
1)   meningitis is inflammation of the meninges of the brain . it is fatal because it infects the brain itself . however it could be treated usually in the intensive care unit by massive dose of antibiotics ,intravenous fluids . palliative treatments like complete bed rest . pain relivers and good nutrition . - lolit

2)   Untreated, bacterial meningitis is almost always fatal. Viral meningitis, in contrast, tends to resolve spontaneously and is rarely fatal. With treatment, mortality (risk of death) from bacterial meningitis depends on the age of the patient and the underlying cause. Of the newborn patients, 20–30% may die from an episode of bacterial meningitis. This risk is much lower in older children, whose mortality is about 2%, but rises again to about 19–37% in adults. Risk of death is predicted by various factors apart from age, such as the pathogen and the time it takes for the pathogen to be cleared from the cerebrospinal fluid, the severity of the generalized illness, decreased level of consciousness or abnormally low count of white blood cells in the CSF. Meningitis caused by H. influenzae and meningococci has a better prognosis compared to cases caused by group B streptococci, coliforms and S. pneumonia. In adults, too, meningococcal meningitis has a lower mortality (3–7%) than pneumococcal disease. - Yee Yee

3)   Meningitis is a bacterial infection of the membranes covering the brain and the spinal chord. It can be caused by many different things, but most often it is treated with antibiotics. The IV drip that your cousin has is probably being used to treat or prevent some possible symptoms of meningitis (most notably brain swelling, shock, and seizures).

Again, I don't know what type of meningitis your cousin has, but most types of viral meningitis are usually not too serious and clear up after about 2 weeks without any major complications.

I know it's scary, but talking to the doctor or nurses can be very comforting. They will be able to give you way more information than we can here on the internet.

I wish your cousin the very best. :) - SummerExpat

Question 5
Could i have tapeworms?...  These past two nights i have been having horrible stomach pains with tons of gas and bowel movements. I have a feeling they could be tapeworms, considering all my poop has been long skinny and flat with tons of white specks in them. I would supply a picture but ihavent really been taking pictures of my poop lately so i cant. Ive also been eating a lot of nuts and curry indian food so that could be it too. Do you think its tapeworms? Oh and also ive been doing a lot of weights and ive been probably getting nutrients from the fact i have made some gains in muscle mass so im not sure whether or not i have a tapeworm. So what do you think, could i have a tapeworm?

Answers

3)   No, I don't take steroids, but thanks for asking. - Nischal
