Many individuals struggle with yellow, cracking heels for a variety of reasons. The most frequent causes include being overweight, which leads to increased pressure on the feet, as well as metabolic disorders, skin conditions, or poor posture.

It's advisable to undergo a thorough medical examination and consider home treatments that can effectively address yellow heels, paving the way for a faster resolution of this vexing issue.

Issues with heels? Prioritize care

Fighting dry, yellow heels starts with proper care, which is essential throughout the year, not just during the warmer months. However, even if problems arise, it's not too late to address them.

Initially, soaking the feet and gently removing dead skin is crucial. However, using the same scraper for several months is not recommended due to the risk of bacterial contamination.

Affordable pharmacy ointment: A solution for yellow heels

Proper moisturization is the next step. While various drugstore products are available, a budget-friendly option is a vitamin A ointment, readily available for a couple of dollars in almost any pharmacy. The lotion moisturises and, more importantly, promotes regeneration, making short work of cracked and yellowed heels.

People battling foot and heel issues should stay hydrated and wear comfortable, well-fitting shoes. Switching from synthetic socks to those made of "breathable" materials is also beneficial.
