Description
Introduction: Cracked heels are medically termed as heel fissures and appear as linear cut wounds at the surface level of the skin known as epidermis. When this gets deep into the dermis it can become a painful problem .This is a result of the excessively dry skin (called callus) that opens up when excessive pressure on the feet pads make the feet want to expand sideways. It is also a cosmetic issue as cracked heels are ungainly and embarrassing.
