How can i heal a severely painful foot heel crack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cure Deep Heel Crack: Soften the hard skin around the crack with moisturizer of choice & try to remove as much as possible with a pumice stone. Mix some over the counter athlete's foot cream with the moisturizing cream. Apply with gloves-so the cream goes into your heel & not hands. A good ingredient for the moisturizing cream is urea cream.
