Dry skin: Causes and treatment
Have you noticed that over time the heels tend to crack? Well, if our feet are dry, it’s convenient to moisturize them soon. In this article, you will learn about the causes, symptoms, and treatment of dry skin in a quick and simple way!
Your feet's skin
The skin is a barrier that protects us against external micro-organisms by preventing their entry. For this reason, it’s important to keep it moisturized and protected to maintain its elasticity.
What are cracked heels?
Cracked heels are an alteration of the dermis that occurs when the foot skin is so dry and hard that it begins to tear or fracture perpendicularly.
What causes dry, cracked skin on feet?
Due to this lack of moisture and elasticity in the skin, cracks appear and can be accompanied by pain and sometimes even bleeding. Many times this is caused by the prolonged use of shoes that are too rigid, lack of attention or even by not wearing shoes, among other reasons.
Symptoms
- Peeling skin.
- Itchiness.
- Redness.
- Roughness and cracks, in extreme cases.
