Dry Cracked Feet

Dry cracking heels (xeorosis) is a condition of thickening and fissuring (cracking of the bottom part of the heels). In most people this is a nuisance and a cosmetic problem. But when the problem persists, especially in diabetes or people with impaired vascular sufficiency, this can lead to a serious medical problem.

If there is a question of diabetes or vascular problems, referral to a podiatrist, vascular surgeon or orthopedist is recommended. If the calluses are of such a nature that they are bothersome, Heel Treatment, lotions, or paraffin bath treatments, foot baths, theraputic hot boots, brushes, pumice and pads, are the treatments of choice to relieve the callus on the bottom of the heel.
