First, women’s feet are dry and cracked in summer, which is particularly annoying

My feet don't sweat a lot. On the contrary, I wash my feet frequently in spring and summer because the weather is dry. But every time I wash my feet, my feet become dry after a night. For a long time, my heels are cracked, and I feel disgusted every time I wear sandals.

Second, why do women’s heels always become cracked?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cracked feet are usually related to insufficient Qi and blood, blood blockage, and inability to nourish the skin. They are also affected by seasonal factors, including wind, cold, dryness, external friction, pressure and other external stimuli that aggravate the symptoms of chapped feet. Certain skin diseases such as athlete's foot, tinea pedis, etc. can cause dry and cracked feet.

Third, what is the reason for the dry and cracked heels?

When autumn and winter come, many people will be troubled by hard cracks on the heels. Severe heel cracks can even affect their normal life. The reasons that cause the heels to become keratinized, crusted and cracked can be divided into: dry weather, fungal infection, diabetes and lack of exercise.

Fourth, dry weather causes dehydration of the stratum corneum, causing cracking

In autumn and winter, as the temperature gradually drops, the secretion of sebaceous glands also decreases, and cold air often invades in winter. The skin of many people is not particularly smooth and tender. Due to the lack of care for their feet, the moisture on the surface of the skin of their feet is easily lost. If you are a girl who does not exercise often and have cold hands and feet, it means that the blood circulation at the extremities is very weak. The heels will become dry and prone to cracking.

5. Fungal infection causes heel cracks

Your feet are particularly susceptible to compression injuries, and if you've worn shoes that were too tight before, the likelihood of this fungal infection causing heel cracks is greatly increased. Fungal infection causes symptoms such as dry and cracked heels, peeling, blisters, and itching. In this case, cracked heels must be treated in the dermatology department of a regular hospital. Heel cracks caused by this situation need to be controlled as soon as possible to prevent them from spreading to other parts of the body.
