Dry & Cracked Skin

Cracked heels also known as fissures, is a dry flaky skin formation on the outer edge of the heel that can form painful deep cracks which often bleed, which in turn can lead to infection from bacteria or viruses.

Cracked heels are caused by seasonal dryness(i.e.winter) or a year round dry climate. Pressure on the feet due to overweight, habitual barefoot walking, wearing of open back sandals or excessive soaking of the feet. Avoid walking barefoot or wearing open back sandals if you have this condition.

A good oil based balm that stays over the affected area will rehydrate the skin, and repair the damaged skin.
