How to treat cracked feet

In cold seasons, in addition to the cold temperature, the humidity of the air will also be greatly reduced. Such dry air can easily cause dry and cracked skin. Cracks on the feet can actually make people feel very uncomfortable and painful. For the case of cracked feet, there are many ways to treat them, such as mustard treatment, vinegar treatment, tea treatment, etc., and the skin needs to be moisturized during treatment.

Cracked feet refers to a condition in which the skin on the feet becomes dry and cracked. It often occurs in cold and dry seasons, and is common on the heels and outer edges of the feet. Fissures of varying lengths and depths can be seen. In mild cases, there is only dryness, thickening of the keratin, and cracking; in severe cases, the cracks are deep into the dermis, are prone to bleeding, and are painful.

1. Mustard for cracked feet

For many years, my feet have cracked every winter, spring and autumn. The heels are the most severe due to dryness and cracking. They bleed and sometimes even my toes crack as well. Applying glycerin, cooling oil, etc. didn't work, and applying ointment on the crack didn't have much effect. Later, I accidentally applied mustard, and it was basically healed in two days. The method is: wash your feet with warm water at about 40C, soak for about 10 minutes, and then dry; mix mustard with warm water to make a paste, not too thin, and apply it to the affected area with your hands; put on socks to keep it clean; wash your feet with warm water again the next day, and apply it again, it will be healed after 2 to 3 times.

2. Vinegar cured my cracked hands and feet that had lasted for years

In the past few years, every time before winter, my hands and feet would crack and the pain would be unbearable. I went to the hospital for treatment many times but to no avail. One year when I returned to my hometown, my mother said: Buy a pound of vinegar, put it in an iron pot to boil, five minutes after the water boils, pour the vinegar into a basin, wait until it is warm, then soak your hands and feet in the vinegar for 10 minutes, soak two or three times a day, and one course of treatment is 7 days. Sure enough, after two courses of treatment, my disease was completely cured and I haven't had a crack for more than 10 years.

3. Noodles can cure dry and cracked feet

There was a strong wind a few days ago, and my heels were cracked and had several deep lines. It was very painful, even when I slept. A friend told me that rubbing flour dough on my heels can cure dry and cracked heels, so I tried it that night. I rubbed the dough on my heels and then spread a thin layer of the dough on my heels. I wrapped it with plastic wrap and put on socks. Sure enough, I didn't feel any pain all night or during the day.

4. Leftover tea can cure foot cracks

Every winter, my heels crack and it affects my walking. In the past, I used anti-crack cream to rub the affected areas, but it never solved the problem of rough cracks on the skin. After the winter came, by chance, I used the leftover tea I drank during the day to soak my hands and feet in hot water for about ten minutes before going to bed. After doing this for a week, the skin on my hands and feet gradually became smooth and the cracks gradually healed. Later, I asked my wife to try it, and after ten days or so, the effect was really obvious.

5. Vitamin E can cure dry hands and feet

My hands and feet start to crack in the autumn every year. I can use Chinese and Western medicine to cure them for a while, but they get cracked again when I come into contact with water (such as washing clothes or vegetables). Later, I tried applying vitamin E pills to the affected area, and it worked very well. The method is: poke a hole in the vitamin E pill with a needle, squeeze the oil and apply it to the affected area (one pill can be used multiple times), apply it after washing your hands every time, and apply it frequently after healing to prevent the disease from recurring.

6. Rubbing with honey can cure chapped hands

After breakfast every day, wash and dry your hands, apply honey on the palms, backs of your hands and between your nails, and rub them with a small towel for 5 to 10 minutes to warm your hands. Wash your hands before going to bed at night, and then rub your hands with honey using the above method. The cracks between my fingernails on both hands were as painful as if they were cut by a knife, and they were cured using this method. .

7. Apple peels for cracked heels

Every winter my heels become cracked and covered with wounds, which are extremely painful and itchy. I used the peels left over from peeling apples to rub the affected areas of my heels. After only three rubs, the cracked heels healed and became smooth.
