Cracked Heels (Udderly Ridiculous?)

Cracked heels are a common foot problem that are often referred to as heel fissures. Cracked heels are commonly caused by dry skin (xerosis), and made more complicated if the skin around the rim of the heel is thick (callus). For most people this is a nuisance and a cosmetic problem but when the fissures or cracks are deep, they are painful to stand on and the skin can bleed - in severe cases this can become infected.


Heel fissures (Cracked Heels)

There are many different possible remedies that one can find online or at their podiatrist. One that I happen to like, which is simple and inexpensive is to apply udder cream. Yes, Udderly Smooth Udder Cream and a pair of socks will do the trick. Rub some on and pull on the socks. Within a few days you will see a marked improvement. Hey, if you have a dairy cow you can take care of her as well. Good luck to you!!

Tip: I cannot stress this enough, even if it is overcast as it has been a lot lately - - wear sunscreen on your face. Sun damaged skin is what make us look old not the wrinkles.
