Q: Deeply cracked heels with redness
asked by: motoxgrl on February 25th, 2008

I am having a problem with both of my heels. I have tried everything from medicated lotions to bag balm and nothing seems to work. I have one really deep crack on my left heel and two deep cracks on my right. my heels are swollen. I do own a pool cleaning service so my feet do get wet but as soon as I get home I clean them really good and put what ever I can with white socks so that my feet aren't aggitated. I am basically at the point where it hurts to walk. I have never had this problem until this year. Please help

Sounds like your feet can use a some exfoliating. Look for a pumice stone in your local pharmacy or health food store. With this rock, you can rub down the dead skin on your heels to prevent the cracking that comes from exposing your feet to the elements. Once cracked, you've got to wither let the skin heal from the interior to the surface or try to mend the crack. Neosporin or crazy glue might help...but I'm just going by what a chef told me about cuts, not from personal experience.
