Skin Fissures: Most skin softeners are inadequate when treating stubborn heel callus and heel fissures. A urea based cream or sal acid based cream is necessary to soften these thick calluses. Periodic debridement with a pumice stone or callus file is also a must. You can even glue fissures together with crazy glue.

Fissure : Could be a fissure due to a callous or very dry cracked skin. Get it checked and treated by a podiatrist.

Skin problems....: There are many potential reasons for cracked skin, but one of them is acute athlete's foot. Try using otc lotrimin (clotrimazole) ultra for a few days and see if it gets better. If it does, keep this on hand for flare-ups. If not, see a podiatrist.
