Heels are the most neglected part of our bodies because
we think that they are thick and can withstand punishing treatmen
The heels of our feet need just as much attention as other parts.
Even though the skin of the heels is thick, it can get cracked and
sore. The heels also dry out and need to be moisturized at least
once a day. If the skin of the heel is hard and thick, you can also
soften it up with an Emory board. This helps to get rid of some
of the dead skin on the heels and allows the moisturizing cream
to penetrate.
If you persistently have dry heels, you should probably get a doctor
to check your blood circulation because poor circulation often causes
dry heals. To protect your heels, you should wear properly fitting
shoes and socks. Leather footwear is better for your heels than
vinyl. You should inspect the skin on your heels every day to ensure
that it does not get cracked and sore. You should never soak your
feet for more than 10 minutes at a time as this will soften up the
heels too much.
If you have problems with your heels, consulting with a podiatrist will help relieve your symptom. He/She will explain how you need
to care for your heels and the proper insoles you should have, if
you need any. You will also be able to find out what creams would
work best for you heels.
