These wrinkles might also be telling you that you should check your thyroid’s performance. If the condition keeps getting worse and is left untreated, it can start showing on your neck, among other areas. It’s not only wrinkles you should be looking for, but also flaky skin.

Cracked heels

Cracked heels can be caused by dry skin, cold weather, or if you stand for many hours every day. However, they can be indicators of more serious issues, such as eczema, hypothyroidism, and diabetes. You can treat your heels by soaking them in soapy water for 20 minutes and scrubbing them with a pumice stone. Then you will need to apply a heavy moisturizer that includes lactic acid, jojoba oil, or shea butter.

You will need to see a doctor if your home treatments aren’t improving your heels at all. There are many treatments your podiatrist can do or prescribe, such as a much stronger moisturizer. What you can do on a daily basis is check your heels, wash them thoroughly, and wear supportive shoes.
