Once again we have the summer feet problem. 's feet look awful.

they look like prunes all the time, not just when wet....and they are very very

cracked, in some places black areas around the cracks, look awful. We check

Mollie's (no CF, but with juvenile diabetes) regularily for such things, but

why is this happening in my 7 yo with CF???? His blood sugars have twice been

slightly elevated on annual blood work, but nothing to be concerned about yet,

per the docs. We have been told the salt and sweat....but we have switched

to the nike prestos (which offer more air) when going places where his feet

won't get wet, he wears cotton socks, and flip flop style shoes when out playing

near the lake so his feet don't stay in wet shoes. This has happened 3

summers in a row and we have never found a solution, though I must say, this yr

they are the worst I have seen (enough to make my sister worried...)

Anyone have any advice on this? I guess we will need to call the doctor (CF

docs), but we are in Canada....so they cannot call anything in. Believe

it or not, we brought every imaginable drug with us, cipro, ceftin, augmentin,

etc for exacerbations that might occur while here, but nothing for feet!!!!

I hope someone has advice.....esp. if there are any canadians out there that

might know of something otc here or something you can get from the pharmacist

(one thing I like about canada....we found EMLA here (course you have to pay

full price, not put on insurance it is QUITE costly!) and just had to ask

pharmacist, can even get tylenol with codeine, so maybe there is a foot thing

here,

too. I also like that you can get phenergan creme here. (under arm pit or

in crook of arm, works just like rectal suppositories for nausea, plus, works

great on bug bites, and they dont have it in the states....) So, if anyone

knows anything about any product, please suggest.....we are desparate....

Thanks
