Dry heels and i know i should probably go to the foot doctor, but i want to know what exactly will he do?

Dry heels : Dry skin of the heels can be corrected with the use of moisturizing cream or prescription cream to help decrease the hyperkeratotic skin in the area. The hyperkeratotic skin can also be removed using certain instruments.
