    Cracked heels also known as foot fissure is a common foot-skin problem among adults. Cracked heels
    are quite unattractive to look at and often lead to bleeding, burning sensation and pain in severe cases.
    You become unable to wear your favorite heels as it makes your gait uncomfortable and painful. In the

    properly. Seek help from this small guide that can help you in mending your cracked heels!

    Why does it occur?

    The straight answer to this question is: We don’t take care of our feet as much as of our face which later
    welcomes several other causes. Such as:

     The skin on your feet is naturally dry due to the absence of oil glands. When you mostly leave
    your feet without a moisturizer, they don’t receive their essential moistures and invites the
    cracking skin under your feet.
     Harsh non-moisturizing soaps make them drier by draining out their moisture.
     Environmental changes and weather affect the moisture level in your body and may cause foot
    fissure.
     Aging, too, bear upon your heels negatively because with passing years your skin begins to dry.
     Medical conditions like diabetes, thyroid or eczema can widely lead to cracked heels by
    increasing the level of dryness in them.

    Initially, these cracks appear to be lines only, but if not treated properly can lead to serious scaling,
    flaking and bleeding.

    Remedies:

    Adopt the below mentioned simple remedies to get soft, smooth crack-free heels:

     Beat these emerging cracks by simply keeping them clean and moisturizing them twice a day
    and once before going to bed. Never let them dry!
     Massage them with olive oil each night before going to bed.
     Soaking: Take warm water in a tub and add 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 2 tablespoons of
    olive oil in it. Soak your feet in this water for about 20 minutes, scrub them with a pumice stone
    and rinse off. Then soon after drying, apply moisturizer on them. Repeat this process every day
    or thrice a day.
     Regularly apply a nice coat of petroleum jelly in the heel cracks and wear a clean pair of cotton
    socks. This application is most effective if done before sleeping and do wonders to your cracked
    heels. .
     Make a mixture of 2 tablespoons of glycerin, half a cup of rose water and 3 tablespoons of
    lemon juice and apply it on your heels twice a day.
     After bathing, apply vegetable oil t the cracks of your heels and wear clean cotton socks
    afterward.

    Precaution: If the problem has become severe such that your heels bleed and causes you intense
    pain, then the only remedy that is going to work better than any other is consulting with your
    doctor. Consulting with a podiatrist is preferable in this case as compared to a dermatologist
    because a podiatrist is trained in dermatology and can help you better.
