The good news is that  there are many ways to treat this problem that will improve the appearance of your feet, as well as your overall quality of life. Are you suffering from this right now?

How to soothe cracked heels with a foot bath

Every night before going to bed, you can bathe your feet in warm water for 15 to 20 minutes, then rub them with a pumice stone while avoiding adding damage to the areas that are already cracked.

The goal is to loosen dead skin cells gently, which make up most of the hard areas and cause dryness.

Finally, rinse your feet, apply a good moisturizer, and put on socks in bed to keep them hydrated during the night.

You should  repeat this treatment daily until your condition improves. However, once you have had your cracked heels removed, you should still bathe your feet regularly as a preventative measure.
