My heels are splitting open—no lotion helps. What else can I do? Should I see doc?

Cracked heels, also known as heel fissures, are a common foot ailment that may be extremely uncomfortable and embarrassing. While many people have dry skin on their feet, extreme dryness can cause the skin on the heels to break open, resulting in painful fissures. If not treated properly, these fissures can cause infections and other issues, in addition to being a cosmetic concern.
