What are Cracked Heels

▪ Cracked heels are a common foot problem.

▪ Often referred to as fissures.

▪ For most people, cracked heels are a cosmetic problem, however,

▪ When the fissures or cracks are deep, they are painful to stand on and the skin may bleed, which can become infected in severe cases.

▪ 5 common causes that can cause Crack Heels :

▪ Wearing thin-soled shoes

▪ Prolong standing, particularly on hard floors

▪ Overweight (Causes more pressure on the heels due to the body weight)

▪ Constantly wearing shoes that are open-backed (Skin is easier to expand)

▪ Skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema (Dry skin causes skin to crack easily)

Complications of Cracked Heels

▪ In severe cases, cracked heels can cause bleeding

▪ Can lead to an infection.

▪ For those suffering from chronic ailments such as diabetes this can be dangerous.

▪ It hurts when walking due to the thick skin around the heels
