Cracked Heels
Cracked Heels
Heel fissures occur when the skin around the heel becomes hard, dry and cracked.. Often these cracks can become infected when they penetrate into the deeper skin layers.
People with deep cracks may experience pain or even bleeding.
The Treatment
One of the most common techniques podiatrists use to remove fissures is called debridement
Our skilled podiatrists will scrape and cut away dried-out and damaged skin. We also use specialized equipment to smooth out fissures. The treatment is painless.
Regular moisturising with a foot cream is essential to maintain healthy heels.
