Cracked heels are not only a matter of appearance
In summer, we often pay attention to the appearance of our feet due to sandals and open shoes.
In autumn, the problem disappears from sight, but does not necessarily disappear from the skin.
Rough heels may gradually become more and more calloused. If the skin loses elasticity, characteristic cracks may appear.
This is why people seeking help for cracked heels in Kraków are increasingly turning to podology practitioners.
Why do heels crack?
There are many possible causes, and they do not always come down to insufficient moisturising.
Factors that can contribute to dry, thickened skin include:
- heavy loading of the feet,
- intensive walking,
- poorly fitting footwear,
- excessive removal of epidermis,
- improper care,
- an individual tendency for the skin to thicken.
If cracks are deep or keep returning, seek professional advice.
Be careful with foot files and aggressive filing
One of the most common mistakes is very intensive mechanical abrasion of heels at home.
The effect immediately after the treatment may seem good, but too aggressive action is not the best way to provide long-term care.
In the case of severely calloused skin, it is better to use professional treatment and then implement the care recommended for a specific skin type.
What does a podology treatment look like?
The specialist first assesses the condition of the skin.
Then, calluses and cracks can be properly treated using podology tools and techniques.
FEETBUSTER’s services also include treatment of foot skin problems, and the practice focuses on both treatments and education regarding subsequent care.
Podology in Kraków — prevention matters as much as treatment
The best time to visit is not always when the problem has become very advanced.
Regular foot inspection allows you to notice changes in skin and nails earlier.
That’s why a podology practitioner in Kraków can be a good choice both when something hurts and when we want to take professional care of our feet.
FEETBUSTER Foot Care Practice is located at ul. Żmujdzka 49 in Kraków.
If summer has left you with dry, calloused or cracked heels, autumn is a very good time to take care of them.
Feet don’t have to hurt to deserve attention.
