My heels have gone so dry and cracked this pregnancy, it actually pains when i walk in the morning. Maybe the swelling and weight too. What worked for u ladies, any simple ghar pe remedy?
Beta, soak your feet in warm water at night, then apply coconut oil or ghee and wear cotton socks. My old trusty trick. Just be gentle, don't scrub too hard. Worked beautifully for me every winter.
No time for elaborate routines so I just slathered thick cream and pulled on socks before bed, took two minutes. Heels were so much better in a week. Comfy footwear during the day also helped.
Warm soak then malai or coconut oil really softened mine. If the cracks ever go deep or bleed or look infected though, do mention it to your doctor. For normal dryness these home tips are enough.
Moisturise heavily at night and cover with socks, that's the main fix. A good foot cream with urea works fast. Drink water too, dryness inside shows on the heels. Easy to manage, don't worry.
