ok this is going to sound crazy, but there is a guy on the radio in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. His name is Howard Garrett, he is known as the dirt doctor because he is a horticulturali st (sp??) any way he has a web site- you could probably just type in the dirt doctor. He is in to organic and natural rememdies. I have heard of him talking about the beneficial properties of corn meal. I dont know if it has to be a special corn meal, but the web site will tell you. I have heard people who have called the show and say how soaking thier foot in this organic corn meal and water cures things like yeast infections and even that toe nail fungus. You might want to look it up and try it- I am not sure how Kiah would feel about her foot being in water, but maybe you could make like a paste of it and wrap her foot for short periods of time. If it stopped the irritation- it might be worth a shot.
