In order to combat this problem, one must first of all know the causes of the worries associated with the feet, including when the heels already showed cracks.
So we need to find out why the heels are cracking how to deal with this?
If you compare the legs with the hands, then the hands are clearly in a better position. Hands are always busy with something, they have to constantly move, except for this they are often lubricated with cream, or even simply stroked. The feet perform a heavy load, transferring the weight of the body, experiencing a decent friction when walking and still remain clamped with shoes.
At the hands, and at the feet, the skin on the outside differs from the inside. The skin of the upper part of the foot does not require special care. It is easy enough to wash them with warm or cool water and lubricate with creams. But on the sole there are no hairs and sebaceous glands, but many sweat glands. If the perspiration is not enough, the soles begin to dry, and, as a rule, the heels crack. Often, sweating stops on the contrary, and then all the same corns appear.
Calluses have three stages of development. First, because of rubbing, redness, swelling, and water bubbles appear. Then the skin becomes rough and rough. Later appear dense, thick, horny stratifications on the heels and other places of the feet. That's when the heels crack. In severe cases, these cracks even bleed. Who has already cracked his heels, how to deal with it, should know, because the pain will make anyone move.
There are special restrictions on the care of feet, for example, with edema, eczema, allergies, etc. It is better to consult a dermatologist. Also, if someone does not fit these tips, they should try medical cosmetics and what the doctor can offer. That is, to fight this problem will have other methods.
Footsteps fit massage and simple gymnastics. This improves blood circulation in the capillaries and in the entire circulatory system. In the morning, a light five-minute massage of the entire body, including a stop, is enough. About six o'clock in the evening you can stretch your feet and do some simple exercises. One hour before sleep again, do massage and exercise, and then walk for half an hour in the fresh air, or just around the house.
Exercises for feet:
• Standing on tiptoe.
• Walk on tiptoe, then on the heels.
• Try to pick up and hold small objects with your toes.
• Make raking movements with your toes.
• Fingernails with fingers to force and spread.
• Spin stops in different directions, including in a circle.
Usually, any exercise is performed up to eight times.
You should drink at least 1.5 liters of water every day. Soups, juices, tea, coffee, etc. are considered food. In winter, water should be drunk more than in summer.
It is necessary to pay special attention to the use of vitamins A, C and E, which is very beneficial for the skin as a whole.
From the dryness of the skin of the legs, small cracks on the heels and itch, the stop can be saved simply by frequent washing and light massage. During the daily shower you need to walk a stiff washcloth in the footsteps and remove the keratinized skin. Wipe your feet thoroughly. Lubricate the feet with cream. For convenience, wear legged socks. At least once a week to steam out your feet in hot or warm water, removing the stratum corneum from the heels and other places with pumice stones. After wiping, do a foot massage with cream. If this becomes a habit, then the heels will most likely always be in order.
It is possible to fight the disease in other ways. For example, it's good to make baths. Herbs of peppermint, St. John's wort, thyme, calendula, chamomile, lime-colored are suitable here. In addition to herbs, the oak bark, pine needles, and potato broth are good. Five minutes for a foot bath is usually enough, but with cracked heels, it takes about ten minutes, with excessive sweating - no more than three minutes.
Footsteps can also make a mask. Here are very simple recommendations.
• Rub lemons with feet and leave for 15 minutes.
• Soften the skin, especially cracked heels, with mayonnaise and leave for an hour or more.
• Apply sour cream or cottage cheese to dry and cracked places for an hour or more.
• Especially cracked heels are useful for a mask of cabbage leaves - keep from half an hour to an hour.
• Mask from a warm mashed potato purse is applied to problem areas as well as cabbage gruel.
• There is a means of great striking force for the brave. Kashitsu bulbs put on the hardened areas of the skin for two or three hours.
