How to Cure Cracked Feet

Lack of moisture can lead to cracked feet.

Cracked feet are a sign of a very serious skin problem. Not only do cracked feet look bad, but they also can pose health problems. "Fissures or cracks will get infected, and you need to treat them with topical antibiotics," said Dr. Alan K. Mauser, a podiatrist from Kentucky. The key problem is the lack of moisture in your feet. You can take action to remove and/or prevent cracked feet.

Instructions

1. Exfoliate your feet to remove dead skin cells. Use a pumice stone to exfoliate your heel. Pumice stones remove dead skin cells and calluses.

2. Moisturize your feet with lotion or foot rub.

3. Wear moisturizing gel socks to bed. These socks help to keep moisture in your feet.

4. Wear socks to bed, after rubbing a foot lotion to your feet to help keep the moisture in and help the feet to absorb the lotion faster.
