What can I do for painful cracks in my palms and heels?
Asked by Female, 30 · 1 month ago
Apply a thick, fragrance-free emollient or urea-based cream to your palms and heels several times a day. Wear cotton gloves or socks at night to help keep them moisturised. Avoid harsh soaps and soak your hands or feet in warm water before applying the cream. Please see a doctor if the cracks bleed, are very painful, or appear infected.
