Crack treatment on Heels and Feet

Crack treatment begins with understanding the cause: cracks on the feet are linear ruptures of rough skin. They typically occur in certain areas due to abnormal thickening and loss of elasticity of the epidermis. Cracks on the sole can vary in depth, and if left untreated, they create favorable conditions for the penetration of pathogenic microorganisms and the development of inflammation.

The main causes of cracks on the feet include:

• failure to observe personal hygiene rules
• fungus
• flat feet
• dermatitis
• deficiency of vitamins A and E
• excess weight
• diabetic foot
• illiterate pedicure
• dry skin
• hyperkeratosis
• thickening of the dermis

Types of cracks on the feet

• deep (epidermo-dermal) and superficial (epidermal)
• infected and uninfected
• wet, appearing on constantly damp feet, and dry, resulting from excessively dry skin
