Dry Cracked Heels

When the skin on the heels becomes dry, usually this is a cosmetic problem. But in some cases, cracks (fissures) occur, which can lead to bleeding, leaving the skin very sore. Wearing the wrong footwear can contribute to this condition.
 
Symptoms
 
  • Discolouring of the heel, in most cases yellow
  • A hard growth of skin, especially on the outer edge of the heel
  • Cracks and bleeding
  • Pain while walking

 
 
Treatment & Prevention
 
Using a good foot care cream and regular use of a foot dresser, can help prevent the skin becoming rough and hard.

To help reduce stress in some severe cases, a soft density gel heel pad is advisable, as this can help protect the heel.
