What to do if there are cracks on the soles of your feet

There are many reasons for cracks on the soles of the feet. In winter, when the weather is dry and cold, cracks will appear on the soles of some people's feet. The bloody cuts are extremely painful. Some people, especially in the hot summer, will also develop cracks on the soles of their feet when they wear slippers barefoot. When cracks appear on the soles of the feet, it brings a lot of inconvenience to movement and life. You should maintain good living habits at ordinary times and stick to the good habit of soaking your feet in warm water every night.

Method/Steps 1. Some people's soles are habitually cracked, and they crack every winter. Therefore, you must prepare early and don't wait until the soles of your feet crack in winter to find a solution. No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, save the water used to wash rice, boil it and use it to soak your feet for more than fifteen minutes. If you persist in doing this, it will reduce the degree of cracking on the soles of your feet in winter. 2. Due to years of chapped feet, some people's soles will form thick callus-like scars and deep grooves. In the following winter, the feet will crack along the grooves again, and the cracks will become more severe every year. Therefore, you should pay attention to removing dead skin at ordinary times. You can use a manicure file to soften the dead skin after soaking it in rice water. Grind it a little each time and frequently. Don't grind too much at a time to avoid damaging the skin.

3. When the soles of the feet are cracked or at other times, especially in winter, they often feel extremely itchy. In this case, many people can't help scratching desperately or rubbing them with hard objects to relieve the itch, but the more they scratch, the more itchy they become, and the cracks become larger. In this case, you can boil white radish tops in water and soak your feet in it, which can greatly relieve the itching. If you don't have radish tops, you can squeeze white radish juice and apply it to the affected area, which can also relieve itching, but the effect is not as good as radish tops. 4. In the case of cracking, pain is inevitable. Not only should skin care products be used to promote wound healing, but also ways to relieve pain should be found. It is recommended to use vanishing cream as skin care products. The experience of many people has proved that vanishing cream is much better than other skin care products. In addition, we can mix aspirin (antipyretic and analgesic powder) with vanishing cream and apply it to the cracked area. This will not only help it heal faster, but also have the effect of relieving and alleviating pain.

5. Avoid pollutants such as mud and dust and corrosive substances from getting on the crack. Therefore, you can use a Band-Aid to seal the wound, but be careful not to seal it for too long. Change it frequently and wait for a while between changes to allow the cracked skin to breathe. 6. If the entire foot is cracked, especially due to corrosion by substances such as cement and chemicals, after soaking your feet in rice water, dry your feet and apply camellia oil on the soles of your feet. Note that it is best to heat the tea oil before applying it, and apply it when the soles of your feet are warm. After applying tea oil, apply a warm, wet towel for about half an hour, or warm the area by fire for half an hour, and then wipe off the oil with a towel. This can reduce cracking and itching. 7. To prevent cracking, regular warming measures are essential, but improper warming will also aggravate cracking. Do not wear non-breathable shoes such as snow boots for a long time, especially synthetic velvet boots. Try to choose cotton and linen socks with good breathability and moisture absorption properties. Synthetic fleece and synthetic socks are prone to generate and accumulate static electricity when the feet are dry. Static electricity irritates the skin on the soles of the feet and aggravates cracking. In addition, sweaty feet are not conducive to the healing of cracks. 8. Pay attention to the shoes you wear. Try to wear soft and thick-soled shoes with good ventilation and sweat absorption to prevent abrasions on the soles of your feet and slow down cracking.
