Many people suffer from chapped heels. Is it related to the weather?

Now that autumn is coming, the weather is getting dry and the skin is dehydrated and peeling. Some people begin to have chapped heels and pain. This is mainly because the foot skin is seriously dehydrated and the foot skin rubs frequently, so the phenomenon of chapped pain in autumn and winter is more obvious.

However, in addition to the lack of water in the skin caused by dry weather, dry heel is also related to these factors:

1, poor blood circulation in the foot.

This phenomenon mostly happens to some old people, because the skin on their feet has slow metabolism, cells die quickly and grow slowly, which is easy to cause chapping. It is generally suggested that the elderly can soak their feet with warm water before going to bed, which will help promote blood circulation, relieve foot fatigue and help cell regeneration. After soaking, you can apply some emulsion appropriately.

2. Bacterial infection.

Many people wear inappropriate socks or shoes in summer, which leads to beriberi. Beriberi can cause itching and discomfort. Many people like to scratch with their hands, which is easy to cause fungal infection, chapping and pain. In this case, it is generally recommended to maintain good personal hygiene and change shoes and socks frequently. If you have beriberi, you should seek medical advice in time to avoid infection.

3. Lack of nutrition.

Many people may not know that when your body lacks some nutrition, it will also cause heel cracking, so you should supplement vitamins A and E, strengthen body nutrition, exercise more and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. If there are signs of cracking in the heel, you can generally soak your feet in warm water, apply it with a moisturizer containing vitamin E after soaking, and gently massage until it is completely absorbed.
