Cracked heels

The ancients said that people age first in their feet, which is absolutely true. Many friends will experience cracked heels in winter, which is mainly caused by insufficient moisture in the heels. Moreover, if the heel cracks are severe, they may even bleed, which may lead to inflammation and have a certain impact on normal people's lives.

In order to prevent heel cracking, many people pay attention to the care of their heels after winter, but even so, there is still no way to prevent them from cracking. In fact, according to experts, cracked heels are also a skin disease and can only be eliminated through treatment. Here are some ways to solve cracked heels:

■ Soak garlic cloves in rice vinegar to treat cracked hands and feet. I am from the south. After living in the north, my hands and feet cracked every spring, autumn and winter, and it was worse when it was windy. I used various anti-cracking creams, but the effect was not obvious. Since last year, I have insisted on rubbing my hands and feet with garlic cloves soaked in vinegar. Gradually, my hands and feet stopped cracking and my skin became smooth.

■"Double Glycerin Liquid" to treat chapped skin: 2 taels of licorice, half a bottle of glycerin, half a bottle of alcohol (an empty medicine bottle for intravenous drip). Put the licorice in an empty bottle, then pour the alcohol into the licorice bottle. Cover the licorice with alcohol and seal it with a lid. After a week, filter the liquid with gauze, then pour an equal amount of glycerin into the same bottle and mix before use. For chapped feet, wash your feet with warm water for 20 minutes every night. After drying, use cotton wool dipped in double glycerol solution to rub the cracked areas. Rub again after getting up in the morning. They will be healed in 3 to 4 days.

■Soft persimmon ice can cure chapped hands. When I was a child, my hands were frozen every winter. Before going to bed at night, the elders would ask me to wash my hands with warm water first, then squeeze soft persimmon water on my hands, and rub them back and forth repeatedly. The effect would be seen after several nights in a row. My family still has the habit of using soft persimmon water to treat hand ulcers.

■A method to treat cracked heels My heels were once cracked and the pain was unbearable. My sister asked me to soak my feet in hot water, and then use a blade sterilized with alcohol to scrape off the hard and dry skin on my heels layer by layer until the soft skin was exposed. I then wrapped the heels with Vaseline gauze and secured it with a bandage. Change the oil gauze twice every 3 days, and it will be completely cured after a week. I used to be a nurse at the 301 Hospital, and I also used this method to relieve the pain of patients with cracked feet.

If you have cracked heels, you might as well try the above methods. I believe they will definitely help you solve the problem of cracked heels. In addition, in order to better prevent heel cracking, you should not only pay attention to the maintenance of your heels, but also pay attention to wearing a pair of suitable shoes. Only when the shoes are suitable, your feet will be comfortable!
