cracked heels

What causes Cracked Heels?

Tiny tears/splits can occur in dry, damaged skin. If left untreated, these tears can grow into deeper cracks (also known as fissures). Heels carry the weight of your body whenever you’re upright. When they lack moisture, dry skin can build up, which in turn can cause the development of cracked heels.

What can we do?

Various remedies are available for this issue, including creams and ointments. Our podiatrists can help by debriding the affected area and removing any dry/ damaged skin. They may then recommend creams and/or ointments.
