Causes of Cracked Heels: Cracked heels are usually caused by excessive dryness of the skin around them. Several factors can contribute to this condition:
Insufficient hydration: The skin around the heels is naturally thicker and drier than other parts of the body. If it is not hydrated regularly, it can become dry and cracked.
Wearing open shoes: Shoes such as sandals, flip-flops or high heels can lead to dry and cracked heels because they expose the skin to dry air.
Excessive pressure: Being overweight or obese can put extra pressure on your feet and heels, contributing to cracked skin.
Nutritional deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin E, vitamin C, and zinc can also cause dry, cracked skin.
Medical conditions: Medical conditions such as diabetes or hypothyroidism can lead to dry, cracked skin, including around the heels.
Poor hygiene: Poor foot hygiene can promote the growth of bacteria and fungus on the skin, leading to dryness and cracks.
Effective home remedy: Potato and lemon paste has been found to be a popular and effective remedy for cracked heels.
