Cracked Heel Symptoms

Cracked heels do not appear overnight. Instead, they follow a common process that begins with the appearance of dry and hard skin on the spot. Once the skin of the heel has lost its elasticity, the pressure it receives can cause breaks. At this point, if we do not intervene immediately by providing the care needed, these small cracks can become even deeper, exposing the tissues under the heel to the risk of infection.

Causes of Cracked Heels

A cracked heel usually starts with dry skin, which loses its natural elasticity and moisture. Thus, the pressure it receives during our day, causes the dry skin to break. But what really causes hard and dry skin on the heel? Any condition affecting the foot skin, such as generally dry skin, Dermatosis, Psoriasis, Diabetes, Hypothyroidism, and more. Accordingly, the pressure on the heel can come from wrong weight distribution or the increased body weight, from the intense stress due to the daily routine and activities, or even from high-heeled shoes.
