Dry & Cracked skin

Dry & Cracked skin

Dry skin can lead to cracks that can be painful! We at Aquilon Foot Clinic treat dry, cracking skin comfortably and effectively.

Dry skin is most commonly caused by too little sweat production in your skin. If the skin becomes too dry, thin lines begin to develop and if the skin becomes dry enough, the skin can crack open leading to an open crack in the flesh that can be quite painful. These cracks can not only be painful, they can become infected or even lead to a sore that won't heal. If you develop callus around the area of dryness, the fissures can be much deeper.

Treatments for dry cracked skin often include debridement and application/prescription of special creams and ointments.
