You can file a callus down every week and it'll keep coming back — because filing never touches why it formed. Calluses are your skin's response to pressure. Remove the callus, leave the pressure, and it rebuilds. The fix is a cycle podiatrists use: reduce it safely, keep the skin soft between reductions, and take the pressure off (shoes, padding, insoles). If you're diabetic, never cut or file at home — let a pro handle it and check your feet daily. Save this for your next callus, and send it to someone who files theirs every week.

"I only change what I recommend when I see a difference that's truly worth it."
That's Dr. Priya Parthasarathy — board-certified podiatrist, partner at U.S. Foot & Ankle Specialists, chair of the APMA Development Committee.
She walks through her own decision process around adding new products to her practice, and why SkinIntegra Rapid Crack Repair earned its spot.

A wonderful moment from the ADCES Diabetes Technology Symposium at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center with SkinIntegra founder Erika Tazberik and longtime friend of the brand, diabetes nurse leader, and educator Lisa Diaz.

We’re especially excited to celebrate Lisa on recently earning her PhD from UCLA — an incredible achievement and a reflection of her ongoing commitment to diabetes education, nursing leadership, and patient care.

We’re grateful for nurses, diabetes care and education specialists, and clinicians who are on the front lines of patient education, prevention, and foot care. Their work helps patients better understand risk, build confidence, and protect their skin before small issues become bigger problems.

SkinIntegra is proud to support the of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists community and the important work being done to advance diabetes education and patient care.

Diabetic skin isn't dry. It's deficient.
Our founder Erika Tasberic spent years researching why diabetic skin heals slower. She didn't find a moisture problem — she found a deficiency. Healthy skin has a specific matrix of lipids, minerals, and key ingredients that compromised skin loses. Standard moisturizers add water back. They don't replace what's missing.
That's why she designed Rapid Crack Repair to mimic the composition of healthy skin. 25% urea. A specific lipid profile. Antioxidant minerals. Apply it and the skin recognizes what's there — and starts to repair itself.
Backed by a head-to-head clinical study at Western University against the standard of care.

If your hands crack every Wednesday, look back at Sunday.
Acetone is the active ingredient in nearly every gel removal — and the soak required to break down the polish keeps it in contact with your skin for 10+ minutes. Acetone is a solvent. Its job is to dissolve things. And it doesn't stop at the polish — it strips the lipid layer that keeps your cuticles and nail folds sealed.
Once that barrier is gone, water evaporates faster than your skin can replace it. Cracks, hangnails, and tight cuticles show up two to three days later — long after the manicure's been forgotten.
The fix isn't Wednesday's lotion. It's Sunday's — cream, oil, or balm, the same day you take the polish off.
SkinIntegra's Rapid Crack Repair Cream is built for exactly this kind of compromised skin. APMA Seal of Acceptance. Podiatrists reach for it for cracked heels for the same reason: when the barrier's gone, you have to rebuild it.

Meet Mary Jane — the person behind the thousands of Rapid Crack Repair sample kits we've sent to podiatrists and foot care nurses across the country.
Every kit she packs is part of our mission to support the providers caring for patients with diabetic, neuropathic, and compromised skin.
To every foot care provider doing this work: thank you. And to Mary Jane: we'd be lost without you.

Pedicure content is everywhere right now — sandal season is here. But there's a version of this conversation that doesn't get had often enough.
A medical pedicure isn't a fancier salon visit. It's a clinical look at a part of the body most people almost never see themselves, performed by someone trained to know what to look for. That can include wounds hiding under calluses, early signs of infection, nail or circulation changes — and lesions like acral melanoma, the type of melanoma most often found on feet and frequently diagnosed late simply because no one looks there.
This matters more for diabetic, neuropathic, immunocompromised, vascular, and older patients. It matters more for people with darker skin tones, where foot melanomas are more often missed. And it matters more in summer — when feet are exposed, walked harder, and more vulnerable to small injuries.
If you're looking for a medical pedicure provider, many podiatry practices offer them in-clinic or partner with foot care specialists trained in foot pathology. Grateful to and for the work they do here.
SkinIntegra's Rapid Crack Repair Cream is APMA-accepted and made for compromised, barrier-impaired skin.

A milestone we're proud to share 💜
SkinIntegra is now an official Industry Partner of the American Foot Care Nurses Association (AFCNA).
Foot care nurses are some of the most dedicated clinicians we've ever met. They visit homes, mobile clinics, and private practices to care for feet that need the most attention — for patients with diabetes, seniors, and people for whom every step matters. AFCNA is the national home of this profession and the body behind the Certified Foot Care Specialist credential.
SkinIntegra was built to protect compromised skin and support the people caring for it. Partnering with AFCNA is a natural next step, and we are honored to be part of this community.
If you are a foot care nurse and would like to try Rapid Crack Repair Cream with your patients, send us a message or email [email protected] — we'll send complimentary samples.
Grateful and excited for what's ahead.

Thick callus and persistent dryness on your feet can be more than a cosmetic issue.
In some cases — especially if you have circulation problems, reduced sensation in your feet, or are prone to cracked skin — this is the stage right before something more serious starts. Small breaks can open easily, and once they do, healing gets harder fast.
If your feet look like this, talk to your podiatrist. Getting ahead of it is easier than catching up.
