The average person walks 3,000 to 4,000 steps a day, or roughly 1.5 to 2 miles so it should come as no surprise that the skin on our feet is subject to a fair amount of mechanical stress. Add to this hosiery, footwear and environmental factors, it is no surprise that the skin on our feet can be prone to injury and disease. Foot Health Practitioners are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of skin conditions including: - Corns / callus - Dry skin - Heel fissures - Hyperidrosis - Dermatitis - Verrucae & warts

Questions

I have dry skin around my heels, what should I do?

Despite the knowledge of well recognized aggravating factors, the cause cause of dry skin conditions is sometimes difficult to determine.
