I've been using Dr Scholls cracked heel balm and the lotion as well. Big improvement.

For severely dry skin and cracked heels, consider the following tips from the knowledge base:

For severely dry skin and cracked heels, consider the following tips from the knowledge base:

- Moisturizers and Emollients: Use thick, oil-based ointments like petroleum jelly or oily creams several times a day, especially when your skin is at its driest. After a few days, you may switch to thinner moisturizers and creams.
- Fragrance-Free Moisturizers: Opt for moisturizers that do not contain fragrances or dyes to minimize irritation.
- Humidifier: Use a humidifier in your home or office during the winter months to keep the indoor air humid and prevent skin dryness.
- Avoid Hot Water: Use warm water instead of hot water for baths and showers, as hot water can strip the skin of its natural oils.
- Gentle Skin Cleanser: Use a gentle skin cleanser rather than harsher soaps to minimize drying of your skin.

If these methods do not provide relief, it may be beneficial to consult a healthcare professional for further advice.
