Dry, Cracked Heels – Causes & Treatment
Posted by Dr. John at October 28, 2009
Cracked heels, which are also referred to as foot fissures, are a result of an abnormal accumulation of thick skin growth (callus) along the surface of the heel line. The heels appear dry and are often discolored yellow or brown. The skin on the heel becomes excessively dry due to the absence of sebaceous glands (oil glands) resulting in the formation of cracks or fissures. This common foot disorder is usually a cosmetic problem but if the cracks on the heel line begin to deepen and bleed, an infection can occur and medical treatment may be required.
