What to do with cracked heels in winter: daily care

1. Keep the skin of your feet moist and not dry. Soak your feet in hot water before going to bed at night, apply a thick layer of Vaseline or clam oil after washing, and then wrap your entire feet with plastic wrap or a plastic bag. If you don't have to go to work and are only at home during the day, you can do this during the day.

2. If the cracked heels are caused by local skin fungal infection, it is recommended to use Daknin ointment or Ifesa ointment for antifungal treatment.

3. If the symptoms are caused by a lack of trace elements and are related to a lack of vitamins, timely symptomatic treatment is required. You need to pay attention to dietary conditioning, eat more fruits and vegetables, and increase your vitamin intake. Local treatment can be with Huatuo ointment or urea cream.

4. Reduce friction on the soles of your feet by adding soft pads inside the heels of your shoes or wearing anti-cracking socks. Pay attention to keeping your feet warm from morning to night to prevent frostbite.
