Cracked heels

I told her to wear white cotton socks, and she flat-out refused to do so. My thought was, "well, don't ask for suggestions if you're not going to follow them!"

LOL! You know... they don't HAVE to be white, they could be black.

Actually, the socks really should be white, since white has no dye and the colors do. This was the scoop I got from a doctor years ago.

I agree with that and also they should be 100% cotton, acrilyc or nylon tends to worsen the condition. It sometimes is caused by a lack of zinc, many people were surprised to have this checked out with the results coming back showing their zinc level was too low. Udder cream has had some fantastic results, most pharmacies carry it now, if not any tack shop will. Glycomed also works well.

I like 100% cotton and it's been years since I have seen any.

She ight want to watch and curtail her yeast consumption. I get small cracks in the skin sometimes that look like splits and it's from either too many bad carbs that cause a yeast imblance or too much yeast in the food itself. You can get a yeast infection anywhere on your body. Sometimes you can have the skin symptoms without feeling bad.

Is it the bottom or the back of the heel?
