Cracked Heels? It’s not just dry skin - here’s the real cause⬇️
More often than not it is a symptom, not just a skin issue. Here’s what could be causing them:
‼️ Open back shoes that expose the heel to added pressure or friction
‼️Diabetes, Ecxema or Thyroid imbalance
‼️Dehydration or Vitamin deficiencies
‼️Obesity or poor biomechanics
‼️Prolonged standing on hard surfaces
As well as basic care for your feet, you need to address the underlying cause. Here’s some but useful tips:
⭐️ Moisturise daily with a urea based cream
⭐️ Wear supportive closed back footwear
⭐️ Exfoliate safely
⭐️ See a professional for persistent or deep cracks/fissures
