Here’s how to do a pedicure at home with baking soda

Prolonged standing can cause the skin on your feet to harden, eventually leading to cracking of your heels. To prevent this from happening, it will be necessary to change position often by wearing appropriate shoes.

Skin aging: As we age, the skin loses its elasticity, becomes thick, dry, and scaly, and the appearance of cracks on the skin on the feet can have a greater impact as we age.

Obesity: High weight puts pressure on the fat pad located under the heel. This can lead to an extension of the pad which, if the skin is not flexible, can put pressure on the foot and cause cracks to appear in the heel.

Symptoms:

Initially, the skin of the heel appears rough and uneven, it becomes dry, sensitive and lacks elasticity. The skin begins to harden, then as the problem worsens the heel begins to crack and take on a whitish, yellowish or reddish color. As a result, the skin opens up to bacteria and becomes vulnerable to infection.
