Deeply cracked heels with redness Posted: 02-25-08 21:59pm
I am having a problem with both of my
heels. I have tried everything from
medicated lotions to bag balm and nothing
seems to work. I have one really deep
crack on my left heel and two deep cracks
on my right. my heels are swollen. I do
own a pool cleaning service so my feet do
get wet but as soon as I get home I clean
them really good and put what ever I can
with white socks so that my feet aren't
aggitated. I am basically at the point
where it hurts to walk. I have never had
this problem until this year. Please help

Sounds like your feet can use a some
exfoliating. Look for a pumice stone in
your local pharmacy or health food store.
With this rock, you can rub down the dead
skin on your heels to prevent the cracking
that comes from exposing your feet to the
elements. Once cracked, you've got to
wither let the skin heal from the interior
to the surface or try to mend the crack.
Neosporin or crazy glue might help...but
I'm just going by what a chef told me
about cuts, not from personal experience.
