What to do if the heels have dry skin

Many people will find that they have dry skin on their heels. The reason for dry skin on the heels is actually related to the friction of the feet caused by people walking frequently. Of course, in addition to frequent walking and friction of the foot skin, people themselves do not pay attention to the care of the foot skin, which can also cause dry skin on the heels. What to do if you have dry skin on your heels? It is important to understand the solution.

1. The first thing I want to tell you is that some people may have rough or even cracked skin on their heels. In fact, this is because the stratum corneum of the heels is thicker than that of other parts of the body and has correspondingly less elasticity. This situation will occur if the air humidity is insufficient and the range of motion is relatively large.

2. In fact, there are many ways to relieve this symptom. Usually, especially in summer, do not dry your feet after soaking them. Directly apply Vaseline or other oily substances. This can relieve the symptoms. Then put a plastic bag or a layer of plastic wrap on your feet. There will be changes after one night.

3. Secondly, if your heels are cracked to the point of severe bleeding and have affected your daily life, it is best to go to the hospital and ask the doctor to prescribe some ointment containing antibiotics and high fat content. During this period, it is best not to wash your feet frequently to keep this area moist.

4. If your heels are dry, cracked and peeling in the summer, it may be due to athlete's foot. You can use some ointments to treat athlete's foot.

5. For the dry and cracked heels in summer, it may be because you don’t eat enough vegetables on weekdays. In this case, you can eat more green vegetables and supplement vitamins.

Note:

It is worth mentioning that during this period, do not cut or tear the skin to avoid wounds, and do not wear shoes that are too high, as this will make the heels very uncomfortable. If the condition is serious, do not soak your feet for too long. At the same time, if your heels become dry, cracked and peeling in the summer, you should keep the shoes breathable when you wear them, and soak your feet in hot water before going to bed at night.
