Tip: Do your heels crack? Do you ever get
a pain in the heel of your feet and there is a cut that
you don't understand? These are also called heel fissures.
They are common and can be uncomfortable. They are also
easily fixed and prevented for most people. If you have
xerosis see a doctor for assistance, but for a non medical
problem, it is easy. Calluses form on your heel and the
skin buildup simple dries and cracks. All you know is that
there is a cut now and it is painful to walk. Simply debride
it with a device available at every pharmacy for 2-5 dollars
and use it regularly. Why did it happen? There are many
reasons. Some people simply have dry skin that predisposes
them to this. If you stand all day that can lead to hard
heels as well. Being overweight increases the pressure on
the foot pad and cause the heel to expand and harden. People
with diabetes need to see a professional to understand why
their neuropathy causes this. If the crack is too painful
and the debriding with a pumace stone feels like a sandpaper
machine painful, then speak to a doctor about the most appropriate
prescription for the best emollient or moisturizer. Podiatrists
even have tissue glue if you really need it. There is a
non-medical action that you can take. Having good clogs
or shoes means that all the parts of your foot are supported
and this helps you maintain structural integrity. The fewer
complications to feet the better, because as feet get problems,
the solutions can be difficult. Some problems once you get
them, they are progressive, and never really reverse themselves
without surgery or medical attention, such as hammertoe
for instance.
As obvious as it is when you have dry skin, remain sensitive
that it can lead to complications if it is bad. A crack
from dry skin leaves an opening for bacteria and infection,
especially in the foot where you wear socks and the atmosphere
is warm and moist. Getting a fungus will not be fun. If
the skin is itchy and scaling, that's not a great sign.
