Brief Answer:
NIDWASH FORTE and PEDISOFT
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Cracks are difficult to be treated. The best thing is to avoid the same by preventing dampening of the heels.
I would suggest her to wash the heel with NIDWASH FORTE twice daily. This will remove all dead and hardened skin and allow new skin to heal up the cracks.
Also, apply Pedisoft cream although the day. This will soothen the heel and provide relief from pain.
She may have to do this for a minimum of 2 months to see a better response.
Usually such cracks are seasonal and occur less when avoid working in dampness or dry the heel soon after.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
