Dry skin is a very common condition and it can lead to the painful problem of cracking and fissuring of the skin especially round the edge of the heels. In most people this is a nuisance and a cosmetic problem but when the fissures are deep, the skin bleeds easily and is usually very painful. This condition is sometimes associated with wearing open backed shoes with the rim of the sole causing the irritation. These types of shoes should be avoided and daily use of a good foot cream with periodical gentle use of a foot dresser will help to keep the rough skin from forming. In severe cases a soft density gel heel protector pad will protect and help to reduce stress on the heels. If there is a question of diabetes or vascular problems, referral to a State Registered Chiropodist / Podiatrist or family doctor is recommended.
