What can i do to remove a thick patch of scaly skin on my achilles heal?

Moisturize: Use a skin lotion/moisturizing cream on your heels on a regular basis. Use of a pumice stone can be helpful and is a safe way to gently remove buildup. This often needs to be done on a regular basis. If you have dry heels with painful cracks, or are diabetic or have peripheral vascular disease, seek care from a podiatrist.

Dry skin: This is a common area of dry skin for patients. I offer many great natural treatments and tips to get rid of and prevent dry skin build up on the backs of the heels. Verify the diagnosis with an exam for your best treatment plan.
