What should I do if the skin on my heels is thick and hard?

Heel problems are a common phenomenon for modern people. Heels are easily worn out due to constant friction with shoes, which causes the skin to age. In severe cases, the heels may become keratinized and hardened, affecting people's walking. Therefore, the health of the heels needs to be taken seriously. Let’s see what to do if the skin on your heels is thick and hard? I hope everyone can understand.

Many people will develop calluses, which are a type of hyperplasia that occurs when the skin is subjected to long-term wear and pressure. Some people have very thick calluses, while others have very thin calluses. Basically, they are formed on the soles of the feet, and severe ones can affect normal walking.

First, if the calluses on the soles of your feet are new and relatively thin, then the easiest way is to soak your feet in hot water every day. You don’t need to rub them deliberately with anything, just rub them lightly with your hands, and they will fall off naturally after they become soft.

Second, don’t go for pedicures too often to prevent the calluses on the soles of your feet from growing faster and faster. It’s best to massage your feet when you have time. Foot massage can not only relieve calluses on the soles of your feet, but also prevent and treat other physical diseases.

Third, if the calluses on the soles of your feet are thick and cannot be removed directly by soaking your feet, you can use some softeners or similar products and apply them to the soles of your feet. It is best to use purely natural softeners. For example, lemons and tomatoes can soften the calluses on the soles of your feet. Rubbing them on the soles of your feet when washing your feet can soften the thick calluses.

Fourth, because calluses on the soles of the feet are mainly caused by friction, you can choose softer shoes when wearing them, and put some comfortable and soft insoles to reduce the friction between the shoes and the soles of the feet.

Fifth, if the calluses on the soles of your feet are too thick, you must go to a regular hospital for a pedicure. This operation is very simple, but it will not be successful at once because the calluses will continue to grow, so it will take a period of treatment before they can be removed.

The above is an explanation of what to do if the skin on your heels is thick and hard. I hope you can understand it and find the correct solution.
