Heel/Foot Crack Repair Care
Cracks on the heels and foot edges are fissures caused by long-term water loss, thickening and loss of elasticity of the stratum corneum, aggravated by friction and traction during walking. Mild cases only show rough skin and fine cracks, while severe cracks penetrate the dermis, accompanied by bleeding and intense pain that even hinders normal walking. This condition is common in the elderly, people who stand/walk for long hours, during dry autumn and winter seasons, and those with prolonged contact with water and cleaners.
- Professional Process:Gentle keratin softening is first performed; our professional podiatrist then precisely trims aged calluses around the cracks, cleans impurities and dead skin in the fissures, repairs damaged tissues to promote crack healing; finally, we provide moisturizing and protective guidance, teaching daily care methods to prevent crack recurrence.
- Treatment Effect:Mild cracks show relieved pain and reduced depth after one session; for deep cracks, consistent treatment leads to gradual healing and closure, foot skin regains elasticity and no longer remains dry and rough. You can completely get rid of walking pain and restore soft, smooth heels.
Did you know that changes in nail thickness, color and shape, as well as peeling, calluses and bumps on the soles, all carry specific implications for your foot health?
The feet bear the body’s weight daily and are constantly subject to friction and pressure. Coupled with Hong Kong’s humid and hot climate and neglect of daily care, common issues such as peeling, heel cracks, and calluses (keratosis/corns) are likely to occur. These seemingly trivial problems not only affect the appearance of the feet, but may also be accompanied by dryness, itching, stabbing pain and dull ache. In severe cases, cracked skin may bleed and corns may compress nerves, impairing normal walking, exercise and work. Long-term neglect can even lead to bacterial infections and abnormal foot pressure distribution, adding more strain to the feet.
