Parched, splitting surface
Cracked skin is skin that has split or fissured, typically from dryness, cold, or repeated stress.
The condition commonly affects heels, hands, and lips: My heels get cracked skin every winter.
Severe cases may bleed or become painful.
Moisturizers and protective barriers help prevent and treat it.
