Heal cracked heels

Ans. To heal cracked heels, you can follow these steps:

Soak your feet in warm water for about 15-20 minutes to soften the skin. Use a foot scrub or pumice stone to gently exfoliate the dead skin on your heels. Apply foot heel cream containing ingredients like Shea butter. Wear socks to lock in moisture and help the moisturizer penetrate the skin overnight.

Repeat this routine regularly and avoid walking barefoot or wearing open-back shoes to prevent further dryness and cracking.

Ans. Dry skin: Lack of moisture in the skin can lead to dryness and cracking. Prolonged standing or walking: Excessive pressure on the feet can cause the skin to crack.

Obesity: Extra weight can put additional pressure on the heels, leading to cracking. Poor foot hygiene: Neglecting foot care, including not moisturizing or exfoliating regularly, can contribute to cracked heels.

Medical conditions: Certain conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, or psoriasis can cause dry skin and lead to cracked heels.
