cracked heels
Dry foot crevices
Cracked heels are dry, hardened skin on the heels that has split into visible fissures.
The condition ranges from cosmetic roughness to painful deep cracks that may bleed: My cracked heels catch on the bedsheets.
Also called heel fissures.
The singular cracked heel appears when only one foot is affected.
