Topical treatments
From Pcwiki
Although there is no cure-all treatment for PC, patients who deal with PC symptoms on a daily basis have tried a wide variety of products to treat their PC, especially their plantar keratoderma. These products may be over the counter (non-prescription, usually low concentration) treatments, prescription treatments (usually higher concentration), or homeopathic, herbal, or "natural" treatments.
OTC (Over the Counter) Treatments
These are products that are available without a prescription.
Americaine is a family of benzocaine based topical pain relievers. It is a "hospital strength" pain reliever. There are two varieties of AmericaineâAmericaine First Aid Spray, and Americaine Hemorrhoidal Ointment. They contain the highest level of benzocaine pain relief allowable without a prescription.
K6a patient "During pregnancy, my sores actually changed texture and seemed to have more exposed nerve endings and blood vessels. The pain was constant and agonizing and to even touch a sore would put me through the roof. Because I had so many holes, or open parts in my sores, the things I used helped a lot. So, the best thing I used was Americaine. It's an over the counter hemorrhoidal ointment. I know that sounds funny since I didn't have hemorrhoids, but it has benzocaine in it - a numbing ingredient. So I put this stuff in my open sores and basically it numbed them so I could handle the pain. I went through tubes of the stuff during my last months of pregnancy."
Americaine is available on [shopinprivate.com].
[Aquaphor Healing Ointment] protects dry, cracked or irritated skin to help enhance the natural healing process and restore smooth, healthy skin.
1. Clinically proven to reduce healing time of minor wounds

4. Soothes and helps protect extremely dry, chapped or chafed skin and lips caused by winter weather or diabetes
5. Soothes and protects minor burns
6. Fragrance-free, preservative-free, non-irritating
K16 patient "Aquaphor - an ointment that soften dry callouses and smothes dry skin/chapped lips for those of us on an accutane. PCers can get this at their local pharmacy or online."
Bag Balm
Developed in 1899 to soothe the irritated udders of milking cows, the substance with the mild medicinal odor has evolved into a medicine chest must-have, with as many uses as Elmer's glue.
According to Bag Balm lore, the stuff went from barns to bedrooms when dairy farmers' wives noticed how smooth their spouses' fingers were after using it on cows' udders. The wives were jealous.
For over 100 years, Bag Balm® has been a fixture down on the farm. It goes on fast—and stays on! Used for over 100 years on cattle, horses and other domestic animals. It's loaded with lanolin!
Helps soothe cuts, scratches, skin irritations, small injuries, rash chapping. Softens and moistens skin. It has been used for squeaky bed springs, psoriasis, dry facial skin, cracked fingers, burns, zits, diaper rash, saddle sores, sunburn, pruned trees, rifles, shell casings, bed sores, radiation burns and more.
Patient comments
??? patient "I use Bag Balm to help with my PC"
Callex Creme
[CalleX Ointment] thins and softens hardened skin and exfoliates dry, cracked heels. Its patented, natural enzymes selectively exfoliate only dry, cracked, thickened and scaly skin while its petrolatum base retains natural skin moisture.
K16 patient "I use callex creme that is a mix of urea and salicylic acid."
Certain Dri (antiperspirant)
Certain Dri Anti-Perspirant Roll-On:
This doctor-recommended, non-prescription product is applied several times a week at bedtime.
According to an independent survey, a majority of dermatologists prefer the Certain Dri® formula for treating hyperhidrosis or excessive perspiration, over the formulae in all the other anti-perspirants combined.
Certain Dri® is colorless, fragrance free and has been categorized as safe and effective in the ongoing review of non-prescription drugs by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
It is applied sparingly at bedtime, and it will not wash off after bathing/showering. In many cases, the user will discover that it will not be necessary to apply Certain Dri® every night to control the problem.
Certain Dri Anti-Perspirant is available with 12 percent aluminum chloride, the active ingredient used in prescription anti-perspirants. Because Certain Dri® is water-based (vs. alcohol-based like its prescription competitors), it is available without a doctor's prescription.
Certain Dri® Solid Anti-Perspirant contains 25% aluminum sesquichlorohydrate (Anhydrous). It is the only over-the-counter antiperspirant with this ingredient, which is more effective than the aluminum zirconium formula found in over-the-counter solid antiperspirants that are labeled "clinical strength."
Heel Balm
Many patients find various creams (including products called 'heel balm') may help to combat dry, cracked and thickened skin on feet and in particular around the heels which may make care and removal easier. Under the 'heel balm' category, there are at least 30 different brands (including Felxitol mentioned below). These products are available at many drugstores as well as online sources.
Patient comments
K6a patient "[a heel balm I use is] made in Australia, but the company may be South African. I used all over my feet to keep them from cracking everywhere - it also seems to make the skin less visually noticeable too. If you have bad cracks you just put the cream on, wrap them up in cling wrap overnight and the next day they are so soft you can walk normal - then do that for a few nights and they go back smooth very quickly. You don't even have to trim the skin down, its very soothing too so it doesn't hurt or sting when used on open cracks. Then, after it has heeled the cracks you can trim the skin easily because its so soft."
??? patient "I find the Flexitol heel balm helps to soften the hard skin on the feet."
Informal comments from physicians on the IPCRR Physician Panel:
Dr. Peter Hull said "It is possible that the abnormal nails could become infected with fungi including non-dermatophytes. Lamisil would only work to get rid of dermatophyte fungi but the nail would remail abnormal if it was affected by PC."
Dr. Philip Fleckman said "Terbinafine (Lamisil) is a good drug for dermatophyte infections (but not Candida or other yeast infections) of the skin. Dermatophytes are a group of fungi that live in the top part of the outer, barrier layer of the skin (the stratum corneum of the epidermis). Dermatophytes cause athelete's foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and most types of nail fungal infections (onychomycosis). Because the nails in PC are thicker than normal, they are often mistaken for nail fungal infection and treated with terbinafine. Unless the nails or feet are infected, I know of no reason why terbinafine would improve PC."
It is possible for those with PC, to get a secondary fungal infection (such as a nail infection or athlete's foot, etc.) An antifungal treatment will not improve the PC condition; it may work well to treat a secondary infection. Most of these drugs are not designed for long term use; they are designed only to treat an infection.
K16 patient "Me on the other hand have it quite bad, well worst after the kids anyway. Now I am at the point where I don't even have PC in spots it is just raw skin and itches really bad. I also see that I am getting athletes foot or real bad itching on top of toes and between as well." Physician "It is possible she could have athlete's foot on top of her PC and if that is the case it should respond to to Lamisil which is a OTC medicine."
??? patient "I've been using Lamisil about 4 months & doctor asked me to stop taking it because it is not going to be get rid my problem."
K16 patient "While chatting with my brother, he told me his new doctor has been giving him Lamisil for his feet (fungal infection) and cordisone shots!! He just doesn't get it about his own feet....and apparently this new doctor hasn't a clue about what PC is!"
K6a patient "The doctor asked that we pick up an anti-fungal cream. She first thought lamisil, but changed to miconazole. At the store the only Miconazole was a 'vaginal' cream, but the pharmacist said okay to use on feet; they just didn't carry the 'foot care' package, but it would be the same. I started immediately to soak my feet with a capful of bleach and then applied the anti-fungal cream (Miconazole). I did that yesterday evening and today morning, and I would say it's already helping me a lot. Since the last 4 or 5 years my feet started to itches a lot, specially in the heels, and since I started with this medication it is not itching anymore. That's great!"
The product contains 3-4% Salicylic Acid, Keratolytic chemical. The active ingredient is sodium hydroxide, contains no urea
Patient comments
K6b patient: "A child-age patient finds this helpful. They apply the Medi-Heel and cover his feet in ClingFilm for 10 minutes then take the pumice stone and easily remove all the unwanted skin. Nothing is painful for him."
More information on the Medi-Heel website.
Original [NEOSPORIN® First Aid Antibiotic Ointment] provides long-lasting infection protection and may help minimize the appearance of scars. #1 Doctor Recommended Brand for over 25 years. No other triple antibiotic ointment kills more types of bacteria then even the leading prescription based in laboratory results.
NEOSPORIN® + Pain Relief Ointment & Cream
NEOSPORIN® + Pain Relief First Aid Antibiotic/Pain Relieving Ointment and Cream help prevent infection and provides temporary relief of pain or discomfort in minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. From the #1 Doctor Recommended Brand. Soothes painful cuts. Soothes the pain of burns.
K6a patient "Cracks on feet, sore and painful. Sometimes splits are in sores, sometimes extend to regular skin. Trim down callus carefully around split, put ointment like Neosporin into crack to keep soft. If gets dry it will split more and hurt more. Keeping cracks soft and not so deep seems to help them heal faster."
Petroleum Jelly
From Vaseline Website "Petroleum Jelly is a mixture of mineral oils, paraffin and microcrystalline waxes that, when blended together, create something remarkable - a smooth jelly that has a melting point just above body temperature. The result - it literally melts into skin, flowing into the spaces between cells and the gaps in our lipid barrier. Once there, it re-solidifies, locking itself in place.
Petroleum Jelly serves two functions: First it helps keep the outside world out - it protects skin from the effects of weather and exposure. Second, it acts like a sealant to help keep the inside world in - it forms an occlusive barrier to the natural water loss of our skin. So skin that is dry and chapped is protected from drying elements, enabling skin-softening moisture to build up naturally from inside the skin itself."
K16 patient "I was using the Lavender or Baby petroleum jelly to help with the smell of my feet during the summer. I always remember what the Harvard Dermatologist said at the Salt Lake Patient Support Meeting in 2007 that Petroleum Jelly has no moisturizing qualities. My problem during the winter is dryness. Now there is a Petroleum Jelly with Shea Butter that I've been using for several months now and I love it!"
K6a patient "Very dry lips. Cracks near mouth can split or turn into soggy white sore and sometimes turns to impetigo. Vaseline or lip balm - use often. If lips cracked or turns to impetigo, important to keep some kind of ointment on it. The cracking can to lead to infection if not careful."
K6a patient "In winter, I put lotion or Vaseline on body. Urea and Lachydrin burn and do not work. Some perfumed body lotions burn also. I usually use suave or generic brands without perfumes. Tight jeans or corduroy irritate the bumps. She usually wears knit pants (cotton)."
??? patient "I have bumps on elbows, knees, buttocks. I put Vaseline on elbows and wrap a bandage around them for a few days until they are soft and enough to "twing right off". On knees, use a good moisturizer as often as possible. On buttocks use moisturizer as often as possible, usually before bed to let it breath without anything on it besides the moisturizer. No more bumps on knees and elbows now, but still moisturizes them to prevent bumps from coming back. Helps the buttocks too. It can take a while for progress but will go away if keep working at it."
??? patient "Apply Vaseline and cream on cysts"
K17 patient "Creamy Petroleum Jelly on arms and legs"
??? patient "Dry skin around and on thick skin is itchy and painful. Blisters may crack. Vaseline or generic petroleum jelly. Put it on feet (don't always have blisters but keeps them dry and bandaged), then socks and slippers or shoes. Keeps feet soft and dry."
K6a patient "Sores on feet get dry and painful. Vaseline or generic petroleum jelly. Put it on feet before putting on socks each morning. Use after trimming and washing sores. Addicted to Vaseline. Keeps sores from snagging on socks and prevents drying and cracking which hurts or is uncomfortable."
K16 patient "I usually use Vaseline the night before. At the morning it is ready. I use blade and cut them."
Phytex Paint
Phytex Paint for the treatment of fungal infection. Pain on to the affected areas, morning and evening and after washing.
K6a patient "I prefer hard skin to soggy blisters and soft skin. Phytex Paint which is for athletes foot, this works a treat to soak up the soft skin"
Phytex paint is available [Here]
Topical Ibuprofen
PC Project applied and received IRB approval for a study of topical ibuprofen believing these were approved over-the-counter products. However, the FDA has ordered all companies to stop marketing this product as it has not been approved for safety.
FDA Warning Letters to each company selling topical ibuprofen
We know that several patients found this very effective. We are disappointed to not be able to go forward with the study at this time. We note that some companies are continuing to sell the product on-line and have included disclaimers regarding non-FDA approval.
Also, at the 2009 Patient Support meeting in Salt Lake City, one of the physicians suggested a similar product Soloraze gel which is by prescription only. Several patients are trying this on their own and will report feedback. We're gathering additional information and will post it when available.
Biatain IBU
From the Biatain distributor website:
Biatain Ibu is a medicated patch that applies ibuprofen directly to the site of the wound. Some patients have been able to find pain relief on their plantar keratoderma by using these patches, although a clinical investigation of the effects of topical ibuprofen has not been completed.
Biatain Ibu is the first dressing to combine moist wound healing with an active pain reliever. In addition to the advantages of the soft and flexible foam, this dressing releases ibuprofen evenly into the wound. This may help to ease pain from the wound during wear and when changing the dressing.

Prescription Treatments
Bactroban is an antibiotic that treats or prevents infection that is caused by bacteria.
K6a patient "When I get feet infections I use Rx Bactroban."
See the PC Wiki section on infections for more information on treating and preventing infections associated with PC symptoms.
Dilantin (antiepileptic)
Phenytoin sodium is a commonly used antiepileptic. Phenytoin acts to dampen the unwanted, runaway brain activity seen in seizure by reducing electrical conductance among brain cells by stabilizing the inactive state of voltage gated sodium channels.
Patient comments
K6a patient "Dilantin or Phenytoin. Drug for sufferers of epilepsy. Used for 6 months to a year. Went off it to have unrelated surgery. After two weeks on drug, not one white blister and was able to spend 6 hours on feet. Still pain, but every time upped the dose, could tell a difference. All follicular keratosis on knees, elbows, bum and anywhere clothes rubbed disappeared. When on Dilantin "my head felt 'right'.. felt like I was more balanced in myself...It made me sleep like I have never slept before, I was zonked out before my head even hit the pillow." Downside: If forgot to take a tablet, would get emotional and a little bit unbalanced. When went off it bumps and blisters came back. Just recently went back on it but again off it again because we are deciding what to do about the kid thing (its a category D drug - ie can cause deformities). Apparently it works on the part of the brain that controls the central nervous system and someone i spoke to had a theory that it stops the body over-reacting to the skin build up. The best effect it had was that i had no white blisters and was able to stand for alot longer and walk longer too. Also made every single follicle bump disappear. Ever since I stopped it my feet have got slowly worse but i do wonder if it is related to me just doing more stuff now - or maybe i got used to doing more stuff while i was on it."
DrySol (antiperspirant)
Anti-perspirants help keep feet from sweating. Apply at night. PCers have recommended Dry Sol (prescription).
Drysol (brand name for aluminum chloride hexahydrate) is a prescription medication commonly prescribed for excessive sweating. A fairly common problem, excessive sweating can be limited to the armpits, but often affects the palms and soles of the feet as well. Once a person has tried several different kinds of over-the-counter antiperspirants without success, doctors often recommend Drysol.
Drysol is reported to work in 80 percent of the people who use it for excessive sweating. Doctors generally recommend applying it to problem areas after drying the skin completely. Wearing it only at bedtime and then washing it off in the morning with plain water reduces the chance of skin irritation.
"Fluocinonide cream USP 0.05% - Anti-Inflammatory is a prescription topical solution used to relieve symptoms and shorten recovery time of many common skin conditions. Doctors often prescribe the cream for eczema, poison ivy and oak exposure, and several other forms of dermatitis. Fluocinonide is a synthetic corticosteroid that works by stopping the immune system's inflammatory response and preventing further irritation. It is important for patients to follow their doctors' orders carefully when using the cream to achieve the best results and avoid potentially adverse side effects.
It is usually used over a short period of time and there is little or no data on extended use for chronic conditions.
Topical corticosteroids like fluocinonide cream are commonly used in the treatment of skin disorders, though medical researchers are unsure exactly why such drugs have anti-inflammatory properties. When the cream is absorbed into the skin, it constricts nearby blood vessels and halts the distribution of inflammation-inducing chemical signals from the immune system. Fluocinonide cream has proven very effective in relieving itching, redness, dryness, and localized swelling when it is used as directed by a physician.
Most people who use fluocinonide cream as instructed do not experience negative side effects, though it is possible for dryness and itching to actually worsen with frequent use. Some people are allergic to fluocinonide or inactive ingredients, and may experience hives, swelling, and skin irritation that are not limited to the area of skin on which the cream was applied. A severe allergic reaction can cause airway constriction and, in some cases, lead to dizziness and a rapid heart rate. An individual who experiences any adverse reaction should stop using the cream and seek immediate medical care.
Doctors are very careful when prescribing fluocinonide cream for infants and young children due to the possibility of serious health complications. Corticosteroids can cause hormonal imbalances in young patients, leading to delays in growth, weight changes, and high blood pressure. Some children acquire a blood disorder called Cushing's syndrome after taking corticosteroids. Children who are prescribed corticosteroids typically need to receive regular checkups so their pediatricians can make sure they continue to develop normally."What Is Fluocinonide Cream?" WiseGeek.

Patient comments
K6a patient: "I've been on a new medicine from my podiatrist. it's called Fluocinonide Cream USP 0.05%. It's made the calluses on my feet slowly go away and my feet are like new. I still have the thick ones on my heeks but the main flat portion of my feet feel amazing. Best I've felt in 43 years. I use it 2x a day (morning and evening) and can't thank my doctor enough for this."
K6a patient: "Well, I'm on day 3 of using fluocinonide solution (not cream - liquid form, same 0.05%). I have noticed the calluses are softer (similar results to when I used urea creams)."
More information on Fluocinonide topical cream
Salicylic Acid
Salicylic acid is a key ingredient in many skin-care products for the treatment of acne, psoriasis, calluses, corns, keratosis pilaris, and warts. It works by causing the cells of the epidermis to shed more readily, preventing pores from clogging up, and allowing room for new cell growth. Because of its effect on skin cells, salicylic acid is used in several shampoos used to treat dandruff. Salicylic acid is also used as an active ingredient in gels which remove warts. Use of concentrated solutions of salicylic acid may cause hyperpigmentation on unpretreated skin for those with darker skin types, as well as with the lack of use of a broad spectrum sunblock.
Patient comments
K16 patient "For my calluses, I've been using salicylic acid with good results. The Rx I have is for 6% and I'd like to find something not quite so strong."
MD comment "You asked about finding a cream/lotion/gel that had a milder concentration of salicylic acid (somewhere around 5%). The 6% strength are prescription only (Rx) - so you'll need to have a doctor write a prescription for any of those. I also looked at some of the 3% creams - and found that just doing an on-line Google search will give a number of things that you can get over the counter (OTC). I included one example that I found online that is marketed for psoriasis, but should work just as well on hyperkeratotic calluses found in PC."
K6a patient "I have calluses starting to grow more on my palms. I went to the doctor and the doctor didn't know if salicylic acid would help and I am being referred to someone else. I have started riding a bike and going to the gym to lift weights."
- MD comment "I think the PC web page on salicylic acid is very good and explains it well. I also think that the cause is the friction is creating the calluses and no matter what he uses to soften or reduce the thickness of the callus (such as salicylic acid), if he continues to have the friction, the calluses will remain. In fact, it seems to me that once the calluses have formed, it is more difficult to get them to regress by avoidance of friction than it is to prevent it in the first place. I would describe this to him as a balance of life issues type thing - that only he can say whether the enjoyment and health benefits he is getting from the cycling and weight lifting is worth the discomfort that the callusing brings. You could try and find some type of anti-friction gloves to use."
K16 patient "We are using Urea 40 cream and salicylic acid and my husband has worked on his calluses diligently for the last few months and it has made a huge difference."
K16 patient " I use RE Salicylic Acid 6% creme that slows growth."
K16 patient "I do not recommend salicylic acid. I was using it on one hand for a few months and it seemed to be helping but has now stoped using it and it made the calluses on my hand come back 3 times more worse then they were to begin with and I wish that I had not tried it."
K17 patient "I have a new RX for Keralyt Gel. As the name implies - it's a gel in a tube and I have to apply it using rubber gloves, but using it about every third night seems to keep the calluses on my heels to a minimum. There is a minimul amount of callus left and very little to "trim" off now. I'm now trying it on the sides of my big toes and the ends of the affected toes."
Description Urea is an emollient (skin softening agent) which helps to moisturize the skin and is used in topical dermatological products to promote rehydration of the skin. If covered by an occlusive dressing, 40% urea preparations may be used as keratolytic agents (for debridement of nails and removal of calluses.)
Generic Name: Urea Cream, Gel, and Ointment 25%, 30%, 40%, and 50% Brand Name: Examples include Carmol 40, NS-8 and Keralac
Patient and physician comments
K16 patient: "I use Urea Cream (40%) that is a tissue softener."
K17 patient: "For thick nails I use a Rx Urea 40% Gel. This comes with an applicator and looks like clear nail polish. I use it twice a day and it dries pretty quickly (less than 5 minutes). I have been using on my two thumb nails for only one week and have noticed one of them is considerably thinner. The other one (right) was thicker to begin with."
K6a patient: "[My doctor has] given me a product called NS-8 which is a heel balm complex cream to rub sparingly into the hard areas of my feet each night."
K17 patient: "Carmol40 (40% Urea) Cream on my calluses off and on since July 2007. It seems to stop the calluses on my feet from growing so fast. I cannot use it daily as was prescribed as it causes my heels/feet to blister. I do use it 2 or 3 times a week, though, and have noticed a change for the good. There is less callusing and less to trim when I do my weekly trimming."
K6a patient: "There is also a paste my grandmother has been using daily for many months and her callouses have disappeared totally. She tells me that after having used this paste every night before she went to bed, the callouses started to peel off her feet until one day she could remove what she called "the heart" of the callous, a tiny white thread that she pulled out from the middle. As for the paste, this is something that anyone can buy at the drugstore, there was no doctor involved. It is also cheap. I know that this paste has been out there for many years, the name of the paste is called EXCELSIOR and according to the tube contains: Ácido Salicílico and Excipiente. Again,these are the spanish names/ terma written on the product. The producers are: Laboratorios GRISI."
K16 patient "I am a older women with PC, who visits my podiatrist once a month. He keeps the callus' cut down on my feet. As I've been aging (and gaining weight) the cracks in the callus' have gotten worse (and multiplied) to the point where it's painful to walk. This has been for YEARS, and at night, especially I'd be walking on the balls of my feet to keep pressure off the cracks. Over the years my podiatrist has given trial size creams, etc., just to try to see if anything helped. About 3 months ago he gave me samples of "Kerol Emulsion 50% Urea", which I started using in the AM, and PM. Once I used the samples up I requested a prescription, which I got and have been using faithfully. Within 1 month most cracks were healed, and new growth slowed down. Within 6 weeks virtually all cracks have healed and I can actually walk flat footed from morning to night. It's not a cure, but boy, the relief is the next best thing."
Other treatments (herbal, homeopathic, miscellaneous)
Formula 303
A All Natural Homeopathic Formula used for Relief of Muscle Spasm, Pulled & Tight Muscles, Tension and Stress.
Patient comments
??? patient "I take natural relaxant supplement called Formula 303. The main ingredient is Valerian Root. Sometimes when I'm having a really hard time and getting off of my feet is not an option for me I will take 1 200 mg ibuprofen along w/the Formula 303 (which is not addictive)."
Gentian Violet
Gentian violet has antibacterial, antifungal, and anthelmintic properties. It is commonly used for:
Marking the skin for surgery preparation and allergy testing
Tinea; e.g. Athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm
Candida albicans and related infections; e.g. thrush, yeast infections
Mouth ulcers
Impetigo, used primarily before the advent of antibiotics, but still useful to persons who may be allergic to penicillin, as it cleans the open sores and prevents spread of the contagion
Abrasion; It has also one of the best agents for "scabbing" up an abrasion or "strawberry" type of weeping wound where the flesh is abraded away. It will prevent infection in almost any wound or burn and quickly help the epithelium form a scab. It does not burn when applied and temporary skin discoloration is a minor side effect.
Use in PC
Gentian violet may have some benefits with PC infections and needs further exploration and testing.
Olive Oil
K6a patient "Rub olive oil on feet, let it soak deep into skin, the scrub off oil with dish detergent. Recommended by patient's dermatologist. Took away burning feeling."
Rose Hip Seed Oil
Rose hip seed oil is a pressed seed oil, extracted from the seeds of a rose bush which grows wild in the southern Andes. It is unique among vegetable oils in containing retinol (Vitamin A). Rose hip seed oil is high in the essential fatty acids - linoleic acid or omega-3, and linolenic acid or omega-6. It is commonly used in skin care products. It is used for a variety of skin conditions, including dermatitis, acne and eczema, for mature and sun burnt skin as well as brittle nails. Rose hip oil is also frequently used to heal scarring and diminish photo aging.
K6a patient "Dry skin around and on thick skin is itchy and painful. Blisters may crack. Skin care product based on Rose Hip Oil. Find it helps on very dry skin, especially on heels which would get very cracked in summer.
Talcum powder (baby powder)
From Wikipedia: "Baby powder is an astringent powder used for preventing rashes on the area covered by a diaper (see diaper rash). It may be composed of talc (and also be known as talcum powder) or corn starch."
K16 patient "Use talcum powder or foot antiperspirant to keep feet dry."
Tiger Balm
Description from the Tiger Balm Website
Tiger Balm - a brand that millions use worldwide for quick, effective relief of their body aches and pains.
Patient comments
K6a patient "Tiger Balm - found in Thailand (for gnat bites). I rub it into the veins around the ankle and it relaxes the whole foot, relieving pain."

First off, I'd like to express my thanks for all of your kind and uplifting comments regarding my previous post. This month has not been the best for me and I am truly grateful for the support! I am slowly moving forward from the job loss and seeking new ways to keep myself productive, happy, and fulfilled.
Earlier this week Tim suggested we take a little adventure. I'm always up for a change of scenery, especially during the fall months when the leaves are changing color and the air is crisp. This is, after all, my favorite time of year!
We decided to go on a photography journey so that we could capture all the golden colors before they disappear in a week. We went to two different places, the Clackamas River region in Oregon, and the Columbia River Gorge in Washington. Here are some photographs from our explorations:
Needless to say, I felt much better after escaping Portland for a few days. And, speaking of golden colors, I am currently testing recipes for Terry Romero's forthcoming cookbook and made some Golden Tandoori Baked Tofu last night for dinner. It was top notch! On the side, Tim and I made Lemongrass Lime Jasmine Rice and Coconut Chili Collard Greens, also test recipes.
I have plenty more test recipes lined up for this week and next week. Hopefully I can post about them soon!

The Center for Medicaid and State Operations (CMSO) within the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), HHS, is the office responsible for the Federal financial participation, oversight, and data reporting for Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Medicaid is a joint State-Federal partnership program that funds medical assistance for certain categories of low-income people, including families and children, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities. CHIP is also a joint State-Federal program that provides States with enhanced funding for medical care to uninsured children, and in some cases, adults who do not meet the financial requirements for Medicaid. Both Medicaid and CHIP are administered by individual States under broad Federal guidelines. Since no two States' programs are alike, collecting high quality data and other programmatic information can be a complex and challenging task. The purpose of this Contract is to enable CMSO to be better informed about the range and effectiveness of State programs, policies and systems and to improve the federal government's ability to meet its goals and objectives in providing financial support for these critical programs.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To diagnose an infection with Helicobacter pylori, which can cause peptic ulcers
When to Get Tested?
When you have symptoms of an ulcer, such as gastrointestinal pain, unexplained weight loss, and nausea or vomiting
Sample Required?
A stool sample, blood sample from a vein, tissue biopsy of the stomach lining, or a breath test
Test Preparation Needed?
None for the blood test; there are instructions for the stool and breath tests and biopsy, including avoiding certain medications.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
These tests are looking for evidence of an infection in the gastrointestinal tract by a bacterium named Helicobacter pylori. This bacterium is known to be a major cause of peptic ulcer disease and is very common, especially in developing countries. It decreases the stomach's ability to produce mucus, making it prone to acid damage and peptic ulcers. H. pylori is also associated with the development of gastric (stomach) cancer.
How is the sample collected for testing?
The sample collected depends on the test ordered. It may be a stool sample to look for the H. pylori antigen or a blood sample drawn from a vein in the arm to detect antibodies to the bacteria.
A more invasive test will require a procedure called an endoscopy, which involves putting a thin tube with a tiny camera on the end down the throat into the stomach. This allows for visualization of the stomach lining as well as the ability to take a small piece of tissue (a biopsy) from the lining for examination. A biopsy can be used to detect other reasons for stomach pain, as well as be cultured or tested in the laboratory for H. pylori. This bacterium produces urease, a special enzyme that allows it to survive in the acidic environment of the stomach. The lab can detect its presence by looking for this enzyme in the tissue sample, or by amplifying DNA fragments to identify H. pylori. The tissue may also be examined under a microscope by a pathologist, who will look for these bacteria or any other signs of disease that may explain a person's symptoms.
Sometimes a breath test, also known as a urea breath test, can be used instead of a biopsy. For this test, the patient drinks a liquid containing a low level of radioactive material that is harmless. If H. pylori is present in the person's gastointestinal tract, the material will be broken down into radioactively-labeled carbon dioxide gas. Alternatively, a nonradioactive natural isotope is ingested by the patient. By testing the expelled air collected from the breath sample, the laboratory can determine if this organism is in the person's body.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No special preparation is needed for the blood test.
For the breath test, you may be instructed to refrain from taking certain medications:
- Four weeks before the test, do not take any antibiotics or oral bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto Bismol®).
- Two weeks before the test, do not take any prescription or over-the-counter proton pump inhibitors, such as omeprazole, lansoprazole, or esomeprazole.
- One hour before the test, do not eat or drink anything (including water).
If submitting a stool sample or tissue biopsy, you may be asked to refrain from taking any antibiotics, antacids, or bismuth treatments for 14 days prior to the test.
If undergoing endoscopy, you may be instructed to fast after midnight on the night prior to the procedure.

Bank adopts iPads for executive corps
Project began as way to cut printing costs.
- |
- Written by Steve Cocheo
- |
- Comments: DISQUS_COMMENTS
Independent Bank's CIO, Pete Graves, shows off the range of devices that can complete an executive's arsenal: laptop, iPhone, and now iPad.
You might say that Independent Bank had a quarter of a million reasons why it began exploring adopting Apple iPads for its executives. To be precise, $250,000 in dollar bills.
Initially, iPads, introduced by Apple in April, weren't part of the bank's equation at all. Looking for places to cut costs, management at the $2.9 billion-assets company, based in Ionia, Mich., found a number of targets. An attractive one was computer printers. Independent Bank, with 111 branches, had bankers in many locations printing out documents.
"We were printing off millions of pages every week," says Pete Graves, Independent Bank's chief information officer. He says the bank found that paper, toner, maintenance, and other associated costs meant that every sheet printed cost ten cents. To cut that cost, management set out last year to encourage staff not to print so much. Besides jawboning and doing all the things banks do to get folks on board, Graves says management took the expedient step of simply removing printers—more than 10% of them. The notion was that if people had to walk further to retrieve their printout, they just might think twice before clicking "print."
"I tend to print less, because of that," admits Graves.
The first year's effort cut roughly $200,000 in printing costs, but the bank continued to look for ways to further reduce its printing.
Does it really ever need printing?
Then Graves began to think about how bankers frequently use their documents: not as something to work over and revise, but as something to review, critique, and respond to: information.
"So much of what we actually do, especially in the executive ranks, is reading documents and approving documents," says Graves.
That had gotten Graves looking at "e-ink" technologies, such as the business-oriented approach of Plastic Logic, with its QUE reader, as well as the technology used with the Amazon Kindle. Many prefer this technology because it looks more like printing on paper. Graves followed the QUE's development for more than a year, in anticipation.
And then in April, Apple brought out the iPad. It was faster than devices like the QUE, and it handled images better. And it had capabilities more like a laptop, in some ways. (Small keyboards are available for users who need to do more typing than the iPad's on-screen, touch-sensitive keyboard is convenient for.)
Had Graves found the "read-only" tool he was looking for that would replace more paper? In time, the paper-chase would be eclipsed by larger possibilities.
"The iPad," says Graves, "just blew the QUE away," in terms of user friendliness and utility. (In August, Plastic Logic announced that it would cancel the QUE in favor of a next-generation reader.) ABA Banking Journal editors have been meeting more and more community bankers who are adopting the iPad personally. What sets Independent Bank apart from others is that it is already embracing the iPad as part of its corporate approach.
Apples in banking?
"Macs"—one or another of the once-geeky Apple Macintoshes—haven't typically been something one would find in the same sentence as "banker," at least not in the office. With the exception of the Marketing Department, most community banks don't go near Macs, officially. But Independent Bank's Graves says his developers, among other tech employees, have long been Mac users. They build and test applications for the rest of the bank in a "virtual machine" environment in Macs, which simulates bank systems.
Likewise, although the bank has traditionally armed the 300-odd bankers who have company-provided mobile devices with Blackberrys, more recently it has begun outfitting bankers who want iPhones with those devices instead. Initially, Graves said, the iPhone wasn't "enterprise friendly," but later versions, including 3G service, came up to the company standard. At present Graves characterizes the bank's iPhone use as a pilot.
One of the pilot iPhone users is Mike Magee, president and CEO. "He just loves it," says Graves. This helped pave the way for iPads.
Once Magee made it clear he really liked the iPhone for business, "I asked him if he wanted to try an iPad instead of a laptop," says Graves. Magee said yes.
Where iPads fit
"Fit" is an appropriate way of looking at the iPad in banking from two perspectives: how it fits into a banker's work style, and how it fits into the bank's devices hierarchy.
"The iPad fits between the smart phone and the laptop," says Graves. It provides more capabilities and greater visibility than a smart phone, he elaborates, and more mobility than a laptop. On the other hand, without the separate keyboard, Graves notes that the iPad isn't good for extensive typing.
"If you're going to carry that keyboard and an iPad, you might as well carry a laptop," he says.
Most typically, Graves has found, users in executive management and IT who currently have iPads have leaned towards the new devices when they are on the go, and full desktop machines when they have office work to do. Magee and the bank's COO, says Graves, "are almost to the point where they don't take their laptops anymore."
For reading email, and, with reference to cutting paper costs, reviewing and approving documents, Graves finds the devices excellent. The added versatility of the touchscreen interface for reading documents, publications, and using the internet, versus a smartphone, appeal to the bank. The next group the bank is considering giving iPads to is senior managers.
Tech needs and the business case
While the iPad no doubt has a "wow factor," Graves indicates the business case had to work. A significant element is setting up the devices as "thin clients."
The iPad comes equipped to read email and to view (but not originate or manipulate) Word, Excel, and Adobe Acrobat documents. This fits the bank effort to trim its paper footprint, and it found ways to increase the device's utility without having to pay further licensing fees for software. The iPads—the bank purchased the version that has both WiFi and 3G—access the bank's systems through a Citrix Access Gateway, or "CAG." This provides an encrypted "tunnel" into the bank's network. From there, the iPad user can access all the software they have on their own office computer, as well as all their office files. Essentially the user has a virtual desktop. Graves says this enables the bank to allow multiple types of devices to have access to its networks, while remaining secure. (Graves worked with Ben Kohn, the bank's senior architect, and Tom McKowin, enterprise architect, on iPad connectivity.)
Connections can be established in three ways. WiFi is preferred, for speed. Users can also obtain access through the built-in 3G. Finally, the bank purchased Intel My WiFi devices that enable a device to become its own "hot spot," for areas where AT&T service is spotty.
Graves says the iPads are cheaper than laptops for several reasons. One is their price—roughly $800. Another is the software issue; a laptop requires licensing costs as well as maintenance of that software, local to the machine. And portability and the lightweight nature of the iPad make security somewhat less of a concern for the bank than a laptop. Graves says that people, knowing how much they can do with the iPad, tend to carry it with them wherever they go, to appointments, business meals, and more. By contrast, a laptop more typically gets left in the car.

While most car audio caps wire up to the amp's power connections, Focal's High Cap module plugs directly into your FPS amplifier to reinforce power where it counts as close as possible to the amp's output stage. Power transfers from cap to amp instantaneously, resulting in improved dynamic and transient response, especially in the low frequencies.

Written By david, champaign IL on Monday, January 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Emphatically yes...I have used external capacitors with car amps in the past but the Focal arrangement is better engineered and really does work....ten minutes to install and better bass, smoother highs and an altogether sweeter response from the amp, Focal Polyglass speakers and the JL Stealth subwoofer. Well worth the money ! Pros: better sound overall not just in the bass where I expected it, a good value upgrade Cons: none really apart from the additional cost and finding a suitable space to install 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Greg Van Avermaet sprinted to a third-place finish Sunday for the BMC Racing Team at Gent-Wevelgem, matching his career-best finish in a spring cobblestone classic.
Result Boosts Confidence
Van Avermaet was part of a group of about a dozen riders who broke away 60 kilometers from the finish of the snow-shortened 183.4-km race that Peter Sagan (Cannondale Pro Cycling Team) won solo with an attack inside the final four kilometers. Van Avermaet, who also earned a podium finish in a cobblestoned race in 2008 when he was third at E3 Prijs Vlaanderen-Harelbeke, was out-sprinted by runner-up Borut Bozic (Astana Pro Team) 23 seconds after Sagan crossed the line. "When Sagan went, I tried to follow him but it wasn't possible," Van Avermaet said. "I think Sagan is a bit stronger than the rest of us for the moment. But I don't think I did a bad sprint, it gives me confidence. My condition was already good in Milan-San Remo and E3. After today, it is nice for me and the team to see I'm good. I needed (this result) today for my head."
Team Strength On Display
On a cold, windy day, the BMC Racing Team put seven of its eight riders in a front group of about 50 in one of the first decisive splits. BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Fabio Baldato said the show of strength was a welcome change from E3 Prijs Vlaanderen-Harelbeke on Friday when only Daniel Oss made the front group, on the way to finishing third. "It was very satisfying to see so many of our guys in the front working together so well," he said. "The plan was to protect Thor Hushovd because we were thinking we could arrive with 30 or 40 riders for a massive sprint and we also wanted to try to make the race aggressive." Hushovd, who was next-best for the BMC Racing Team in 17th place, said he was feeling good but missing "a little bit" on the hardest moments. "I hope things will change a little bit for this upcoming weekend (Tour of Flanders) and at least for Roubaix," he said.

ALONZO QUINONEZ, PREMIER PEGASUS, Winner:"He always surprises me. He's learning and learning every race. The first time, he broke and wanted to go because I had horses inside and outside of me. The second and third time was better because I just had horses on the inside and he was just waiting for them. When I asked him, he just took off. I wanted to get the jump on them before they came to me. I was just showing him the whip, I wasn't hitting him hard."
*RAFAEL BEJARANO, INDUSTRY LEADER, Second:*"I was happy with his race. There was a lot of pressure at the beginning and the winner was going easy. He'll be alright in time."
JOEL ROSARIO, HIGH LEVEL JEFF, Fifth: "The winner broke so fast and I had to check a little bit out of there. I tried to make him relax, but he didn't want to. I took a little hold and he started throwing his head."
h4.Trainer Quotes
MYUNG KWON CHO, PREMIER PEGASUS, Winner: "I raced the dam of this horse (Squall Linda). She changed my life (Cho also owned and trained half brother Street Hero). I have two possibilities for the ($750,000-guaranteed CashCall) Futurity (Dec. 18), this colt and Riveting Reason. It would be a dream to win that race. I'm not certain yet what I'm going to do. We're eventually looking at the turf with this horse."
KRISTIN MULHALL, INDUSTRY LEADER, Second: "I think he ran well. That horse was just hard to get by. He definitely has a lot of room to improve. I think he'll be a lot better going two turns. We ran him back a little quick off that first race."
NOTES: The last horse to win both the Hollywood Prevue and the Futurity was Declan's Moon in 2004….Street Hero won the 2008 Norfolk Stakes at Santa Anita…

CHICAGO, (UPI) — A 77-year-old Chicago man is facing charges for allegedly stealing an ambulance from a hospital he had just left, police say.
John Neal is accused of walking out of MacNeal Hospital in Berwyn Tuesday night, hopping in an apparently idling ambulance and driving off. He had gone about 10 miles and was 2 miles from his home when officers caught up with him. They said Neal told them he took the emergency vehicle because, "I needed a ride. I needed to get home," the Chicago Tribune reported.
It wasn't clear why Neal had been at the hospital, but now he is charged with possession of a stolen motor vehicle, felony criminal damage to government property and driving without a driver's license, police said. A Cook County judge ordered him released on a $10,000 personal recognizance bond.
Neal's not the only one in trouble. Ray Hanania, a Cicero town spokesman, said the two paramedics assigned to the ambulance have been suspended and may face discipline for leaving the vehicle unattended with the keys inside.

About us…
We are a laid back and easy going group of diverse people who enjoy hiking with others while exploring trails together in Maryland, DC, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and West Virginia. A sense of humor is a must and we are very much a social hiking group. We enjoy Mother Nature's diversity as well as our own. Our focus is on camaraderie and safety while having a ton of fun out on the trail. We also do a lot of volunteer work to help maintain various trails throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. All of our hikes are led by members of our leadership team made up of well credentialed and certified hike leaders. So, get your rear in gear and join us for a hike soon! Whether you are a newbie, or a most seasoned hiker, we are certain to have something for you on our calendar of over 100 future hikes. I look forward to seeing you on the trail soon.
WARNING - Our calendar is very active all four seasons and may become addictive and beneficial to your health!
Why We Hike - To have good times, make friends, and maybe even meet a special someone along the trail while enjoying the benefits of the great outdoors. We welcome all people, single or not. As long as you are interested in hiking, then the non-profit Mid-Atlantic Hiking Group is a group for you. Whether you are looking to hike to lose weight, have never hiked a mile in your life, or are looking to rise up to the challenge of ultra hiking 30 miles in one day, we have a hike for you on our schedule. Remember, we were all newbies once and we enjoy introducing others to hiking. Mid-Atlantic Hiking Group's hikes are a great way to relieve stress while getting great exercise and enjoy the variety of what Mother Nature has to offer in our region and beyond.
When We Hike - We do it the morning, afternoon, after work, evening, darkest of night, every weekend day, all year 'round. We average 20 hikes each week. Get your mind out of the gutter 'cause we are talking about hiking here-grin. Seasonally, we offer weekday day hikes in addition to our variety of after work hikes throughout the area.
Where We Hike - Anywhere within the Mid-Atlantic region. We also have special trips to places farther away. Hikes range from very easy sneaker hikes on paved paths along gentle streams and clear lakes, to very strenuous, steep climbs and rock scrambles to mountain summits. We visit Shenandoah National Park, George Washington National Forest, and the Appalachian Trail almost every weekend. We strive to offer at least one easy, moderate, and strenuous hike within 60 miles of Baltimore, DC, and Northern Virginia each weekend. Additionally, we have cookouts, white water floats, hike out/paddle backs, cave trips, natural water slides hikes, Appalachian Trail section hikes, camping trips, volunteer offerings, and last but certainly not least, our very popular Monuments in the Moonlight hikes. Mid-Atlantic Hiking Group was featured on the front page of the weekend section of The Washington Post newspaper.
How We Hike - With safety and camaraderie in mind, we always have fun out on the trails! We will not leave anyone behind and hike in small groups to avoid feeling as if you brought the city along with you on the trail. Hiking in large groups is not fun for you or anyone else on the trail, our leadership team included. We pledge to practice Leave No Trace (LNT) outdoor ethics at all times and are a partner of LNT. Mid-Atlantic Hiking Group is proud to be an alliance club member of the American Hiking Society. MAHG offers many volunteer and trail maintenance opportunities in addition to community building events, so come on out and make a difference in our parks and community.
Who Should Join - Simply put, you! Whether you are young, old, working, single, in a committed relationship, retired, laid off, shy, talkative, energetic, geeky, lazy (but hopefully you don't want to be or we just might have a problem with this one-grin), recovering from an injury, social, or a competitive speed hiker, this is a group for you. We love our diversity and thrive on it!
I hope to see you on the trail soon and let's have good times!
