CRACKED HEELS

Hi Nanette,

I read with interest your column, and I was wondering about the treatment for a deep crack on my heel. I was going to set up an appointment with a dermatologist but I am interested in what you have to say. I have been attending aqua fit at a gym for 5 years -3 times a week. I am wondering if that could be the cause of my problem too.

Thank you for your help.

Response to Cracked Heels

Hi Sandra,

Thank you for contacting me with your question. So many things that we do in a day or week can impact our lives in various ways. I commend you for attending the aqua fit class at your gym on such a consistent basis as this is quite health building and strengthening to your body. Yet, in all likelihood, the crack on your foot has either been caused or exacerbated by the chlorine water you exercise in. Chlorine is quite drying and of course is a chemical that is antagonistic to the skin.

Here are 2 things I would recommend you follow to not only repair the deep crack on your heel but also to keep it from re-occurring as you continue your water aerobics.

1) Wash the affected area with our hypo-allergenic and gentle body wash which contains absolutely no chemicals or ingredients that can be toxic to the skin. Our FACE & BODY WASH will add moisture to your skin and begin the repair process.

3) Next, apply our Double Stength TheraCream to the entire heel area to unpack dry, hardened cells 7 layers deep as well as to add necessary moisture to your skin. This "double the strength" formula was made for the thicker skin on the feet and can add abundant moisture as well as stop any itching you may also be experiencing. This is a fast working cream that contains plenty of vitamins and nutrients to fortify and protect your skin. Keeping this process in strong working order is very important. You will notice the deep crack in your heel begin to mend quickly as new , soft skin forms over.

Please keep me posted as you begin your regimen.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
