When your feet feel good, you feel good. Which is why it’s so important to have smooth, healthy skin. Your skin is like a shield, but when dry skin and cracks begin to appear it can’t do its job properly.
Cracks begin when tiny splits occur in dry, damaged skin. At first, your heel may feel tight when you’re standing for long periods. The next signs are often intense dryness, itching and tenderness. Finally, your skin may turn yellow or brown and feel hard to the touch. Cracked heels may seem like nothing more than a nuisance, but over time they can become more and more painful until it hurts just to walk. In advanced stages heels may be so dry that they turn white, yellowish and begin to flake. Cracks can deepen and may even bleed and become infected with bacteria.
