Cracked Heel Treatment in Hamilton
Say goodbye to dry, split heels
and hello to smooth, pain-free steps.
What Are Cracked Heels?
Here at Feet Forward Podiatry, we treat a range of skin conditions, including cracked heels - also known as heel fissures. These occur when the skin around the heel becomes dry, thick, and splits open. Cracks can be shallow and painless OR deep and uncomfortable, and if left untreated, may lead to infection. The good news? Treatment is simple and effective.
Causes of cracked heels
Cracked heels often result from dry, inflexible skin and increased pressure on the heel.
Common causes include:
Prolonged standing on hard surfaces
Wearing open-back shoes or sandals
Skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis
Natural aging and reduced skin hydration
Foot structure or pressure
And can occur to both men and women and all ages!
If you’re experiencing cracked heels, our expert podiatrists can help you find relief.
