What can cause pain on the outer side of the heel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most common cause is dry skin and cracked skin. That is on the part of the heel where the side of the heel meets the sole of the foot. There are also ligmaments that are on the outside of the heel that attach to the tip of the outer side ankle bone and if you twisted your ankle they would hurt.
