Cracked heels are often referred to as fissures and are usually caused by dry skin. For most people this is a nuisance and a cosmetic problem but when the fissures are deep, the skin bleeds easily and can be very painful. The heels appear yellow or dark brown depending on the skin type and are normally accompanied by dry skin.

Symptoms include a hard growth of skin, usually on the outer edge of the heel. Patients may experience pain while walking and increased discomfort in thin soles or open back shoes.
If you like wearing high heels, open shoes or "going natural" but think the thought of baring your cracked heels or calluses is embarrassing, then Footkiss is for you.
Apply a moisturizing cream twice daily to the affected heels, such as Flexitol Heel Balm
Gehwol Med Salve for Cracked skin contains an effective combination of natural essential oils, the skin-caring vitamin panthenol, and the anti-inflammatory chamomile component bisabolene.
