Cracked heels are a common foot problem and are commonly caused by very dry and calloused skin especially as skin’s own elasticity decreases (usually with age). They are often referred to as heel fissures.  At first this may be nothing but a nuisance and a cosmetic problem, but when the fissures or cracks become too deep, which can happen if foot care is neglected, they can even become painful to stand on.

Hansaplast Cracked Heel Ointment is an on-the-spot aid and actively repairs even severely dry and cracked skin. It moisturises and soothes with immediate effect and activates the natural skin regeneration to restore smooth and healthy skin without leaving a burning effect on the skin.
Apply a small amount to the affected skin twice a day. Hansaplast Cracked Heel Ointment can also be used for hands but should not be applied on open wounds and bloody or infected cracks.

The Hansaplast Cracked Heel Ointment is a clinically proven highly effective on-the-spot aid for cracked feet. The soothing formula with panthenol and bisabolol activates the natural skin regeneration process and restores smooth and healthy skin. Its protective barrier, which keeps the skin’s own moisture from evaporating, creates an ideal healing environment.

Try investigating the cause of the problem, whether it’s neglected care, seasonal (cracked heels can occur more often in the summer when we tend to walk barefoot on rough tiles or surfaces) or another factor.
The main thing to do is to constantly work on removing the hard, thick skin on your heels. This is important, as the cracks won’t heal if the excess of calloused skin is not removed. Applying a moisturising cream with urea twice daily is vital to get on top of this problem.
Check your shoes and your way of walking in order to see whether they contribute to the problem. Consult your podiatrist or doctor to find out if insoles might be a good idea to alter the way you walk to prevent the thick skin from developing.
