Dry, cracked heels

Cracked heels, or heel fissures as they’re often called, are often characterized by cuts or wounds that appear on the edge of your heel. Although these do not go deeply into your skin, it can cause pain and discomfort at times, depending on the extent of the cracking; it can also be embarrassing, causing sufferers to wear closed shoes even in the hottest weather. Among the most common symptoms associated with cracked heels include flaky patches on your skin, redness on the heels, peeling of skin, bleeding, and oftentimes the presence of discharges on those cracks. As soon as the first symptoms appear, you have to address it for fast healing before it gets worse and be exposed to infection.

Fortunately, with proper treatment, cracked heels can be a thing of the past.
