I never apply Biofreeze or any other lotion to the bottoms of my feet. I don't have dry skin so don't need moisturizers either.

I only apply on the tops of the feet. Same with Lidoderms and Salonpas. It is a mistake to put the Lidoderms on the bottoms of the feet....as there isn't a good chance the lidocaine will get to any nerves that way.

When I had physical therapy for my left hip tendons, the therapist mixed 1/2 Biofreeze with 1/2 ultrasound lub... to do extra strong
ultrasound treatments. That is where I learned about it and even bought a tube from them. In those days, that was the only place to get it, and at Chiros. It was a closely guarded "secret" and not sold online or in stores.

I'll put this highly useful link up again for the newer members:

This shows the nerves on the top of the foot:

I get alot of relief with Biofreeze on the ankles too.

This is a really good explanation of fasciitis too:
