What to do if the heels are cracked

Cracked heels are caused by the lack of certain elements in the body, and the dry climate in winter can lead to this situation. When cracked heels occur, you can first look at and touch the epidermis to see if there are any changes. If the heels are relatively dry, you need to soak your feet in warm water regularly, which can moisturize the skin and achieve a moisturizing effect.

My face is dry, my throat is dry, and now my heels are dry too.

I find that my heels are getting drier and drier, and are about to crack. Is it because the autumn and winter are too dry? What can I do?

The dry climate is one of the reasons, but it's not that simple.

In autumn and winter, the air humidity decreases and the skin is more prone to dehydration, but in addition to this, athlete's foot (tinea pedis), eczema and chronic contact dermatitis may also cause dry and cracked heels.

Therefore, when you find your heels are cracked, you might as well take a look and touch them first.

If it just feels rough and not as smooth, it may just be dry skin.

What you need to do at this time is to moisturize your skin. Soak your feet in warm water, and then apply moisturizer evenly while your skin is still relatively moist. You can also apply it several times during the day.

If in addition to dryness and cracking, there are other symptoms such as peeling, blisters, and itching, you should go to the dermatology department of a regular hospital for treatment.

Some subtle differences and changes in the skin are really difficult to distinguish. Maybe what you think is just a "slightly different" symptom may actually require completely different treatment.

In short, if you find something wrong, go see a doctor and you will get more appropriate treatment.
