Cracked heels or heel fissures are a common problem seen in clinical practice. Clinically, cracked heels are not difficult to manage; you simply debride the callus around the fissures; prescribe and emollient; advise them to wear closed in heel shoes; then give advice on self-care. Problem solved! Unfortunately most cases of cracked heels are not managed that imply as there is more often than not a severe limitation on the self-care not being carried out well enough. This means that cracked heels become an ongoing routine care problem to keep the callus debrided.
