Cracked heels are a common condition caused by dry skin on the heels. This dryness leads to a loss of elasticity and eventually cracking due to the body’s weight pressing down on the feet. Cold weather is a major factor in drying out the skin, causing the heels to crack. Other causes include excessive walking and standing, which put pressure on the heels and reduce the skin’s elasticity. The use of harsh soap and prolonged soaking in hot water can also contribute to cracked heels.
At our center, we provide an effective method for treating cracked heels using olive oil. Olive oil has numerous benefits for the skin, including exfoliating dead cells, moisturizing the skin, soothing damaged skin, and killing bacteria that can delay the healing process. By regularly applying a mixture of olive oil and lemon juice or lavender essential oil to the cracked heels and gently massaging the affected area, patients can experience quick healing and healthier skin.
