Cracked heels can easily ruin your day due to the painful symptoms and unsightly nature of this condition. Here are some ways you can prevent this condition at home!
- As callus begins to develop on your heels, see one of our podiatrists to safely remove the dead dry skin, before it builds up and starts cracking.
- Moisturize your feet daily, but keep the area between your toes dry.
- Wear footwear that protects and supports your feet. Avoid extended use of flip-flops, sandals without an enclosed heel, or going barefoot.
- Keep your foot protected by wearing stockings or socks when possible.
- Keep hydrated to prevent your skin from drying out and cracking.
- Daily exercises to improve circulation can help heal any heel cracks and discourage further cracking.
