My wife and her father had the same thing I believe. Think calluses would form, then crack and become very painful, I think it may be genetic to some extent. He used a product called "Corn Huskers Lotion" on his with some relief. She started taking vitamins and cut beef out of her diet completely and is on a low carb diet. She no longer is afflicted with this now but we are not sure if the vitamins, stopping consumption of beef or the low card diet is what help, or something else that changed that we are not aware of. I believe however that the vitamins may have been the major thing since that is what she did first and they seemed to improve very much during that time.
