Cracks & Fissures
Cracks and Fissures
Cracks and fissures are breakages of the skin on your feet, and they can be either dry or moist. The moist breakages tend to occur between the toes, and the dry ones at the heel.
Treatment
Treating them is normally straightforward. For dry cracks and fissures, the use of moisturisers is normally sufficient. For wet cracks and fissures, an astringent like rubbing alcohol should be used to dry the foot. If you’ve got tough, thick skin, a gentle file prior to the application of moisturiser may also help.
