You can try Amlactin or Lachydrin moisturizers. Any moisturizer with ammonium lactate, salicylic acid, or urea can be helpful. Apply the moisturizer after bathing or soaking your feet. And filing them down as often as possible.
If not allergic, a drop of crazy glue on the crack will help seal it and give it a chance to heal. See your dermatologist for a cream that can help Rx the whole area.
