DH used a lotion with Urea...Eucerin or another good name brand works well to soften the skin which seemed to relieve things. Check the ingredient label. He had bad HFS during Xeloda and finally switched back to infusions. I spread lotion on his feet every evening before bed. You could put the lotion on and then cover with aloe socks.
He is on Vectibix now and the Dr. prescribed a gel for his face redness and an antibiotic. Perhaps there's a gel for the feet?
