Is it beneficial to take Levcet and Mega 400 for eczema-related crack hells?

While Mega 400, if it contains vitamin E or nutritional supplements, may promote skin healing but not directly treat eczema, Levocetirizine (Levcet) may help lessen eczema-related irritation. Eczema-related cracked heels typically get better with consistent moisturising with thick creams or petroleum jelly, avoiding harsh cleansers, keeping the feet clean, and wearing cotton socks and soft shoes. A doctor may recommend medicated creams, such as moderate steroids or anti-inflammatory creams, for short-term usage if the skin is extremely inflamed, red, painful, or itchy. If the cracks bleed, become infected, bulge, produce pus, or do not get better within a few weeks, please see a skin specialist.

I have repeated cracks on my heels and soles of both feet. What could be causing this and how can it be treated effectively?

Repeated cracks on the heels and soles are most commonly due to very dry, thickened skin and pressure on the feet, but they can also be linked to conditions like Plantar keratoderma, Fungal infection, or underlying issues such as diabetes or thyroid imbalance. Effective treatment requires consistent care rather than short-term creams. Apply a thick moisturizer with urea or lactic acid twice daily (especially after bathing), gently remove hard skin with a pumice stone, keep feet clean and dry, and always wear cushioned, closed footwear (avoid walking barefoot). Using heel pads or protective footwear helps reduce pressure and prevents recurrence. If there is itching or scaling, an antifungal cream may be needed, and if cracks are deep, painful, or not improving, consult a doctor for stronger prescription treatment and to rule out underlying conditions.

My mother has had deep cracks in her feet for the past 4-5 years. She has used creams like Moisturex, Krack Cream, and Vaseline, but still experiences pain and a pricking sensation while walking. What is the best treatment for her condition?

Deep, long-standing cracks in the feet (heel fissures) that are painful and not improving with regular creams like Moisturex, Krack Cream, and Vaseline need more intensive care, so your mother should keep her feet clean, avoid walking barefoot, and use thick, urea- or salicylic acid?based foot creams regularly (especially at night) followed by wearing socks to lock in moisture, while gently filing thick, hard skin after soaking (but not cutting it), and if cracks are deep, painful, or bleeding, a doctor may prescribe medicated creams, treat any infection, or advise protective dressings. Since this problem has persisted for years with pain, it is best to consult a dermatologist or physician to check for underlying causes like diabetes, fungal infection, or severe dryness and start targeted treatment for proper healing.
