Cracked heels are one of the most frequent problems associated with feet in modern people.
The intensity of this problem can be different starting from a cosmetic one and ending with a very painful problem that disrupts normal functioning.
The skin is typically dry and may come with a very thick callus that has a dark brown or yellow color covering certain areas of the skin that is usually found on the inside border of the heel.
Cracks located on the skin can be easily identified.
There are many reasons why cracked heels appear and some of them include insufficient moisture, dry air, the aging process, standing on hard floors for a long period, and wearing unsuitable footwear.
Certain health problems like psoriasis, eczema, calluses and corns, thyroid disease, and diabetes can also lead to this problem.
Besides the thickened dry skin, the problem may be characterized by symptoms and signs like itching, redness, peeling skin, and inflammation.
If you notice the first signs of this unpleasant condition, you should take some action before the situation gets worse.
