Cracked Feet Causes
Cracked feet are caused by factors that dry the skin like wearing open shoes, bathing frequently, and using harsh soaps. Medical conditions like diabetes and thyroid dysfunction can also cause cracked feet. Skin conditions like ichthyosis, palmaplantar psoriasis, palmaplantar keratoderma can also cause dry, scaly skin on the feet.
Symptoms of cracked feet include dry, thickened skin on the feet which may have cracks and scaling.

Cracked Feet Treatment:
Consult a Doctor
Consulting a doctor is very important because they can examine the feet and do the necessary tests to determine whether the feet lesions are caused by skin conditions like ichthyosis or medical conditions like thyroid dysfunction. The doctor can also examine the dry, cracked feet for fungal infections. Since the treatment of each of these conditions is different, it is very important to consult a doctor.
Our Doctor can examine your feet and treat the conditions causing the cracked feet in our Nairobi Almasi Skincare Clinic which is located in Fortis Suites, Hospital road, 8th floor, room 809. We see new clients on Saturdays at 10am and Wednesdays at 2pm.

Cracked Feet Treatment:
Soak the Feet
Soak the feet in warm water for 10 minutes to soften the hard, rough skin. For the best results, add some oil to the water for a moisturizing soak.
We recommend using Jojoba Oil since it moisturizes the skin effectively. We also recommend it because it very hard for it to trigger an allergic reaction in the skin since it is a wax with the same composition as the oil the body produces. In addition, jojoba also has antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant properties.
The price in Kenya of Jojoba Oil is Ksh 1200.
Jojoba Oil can be purchased from our Nairobi Almasi Skincare Shop located on Moi Avenue, Sawa Mall, 3rd floor, Shop C15. Call 0721 963 156 or WhatsApp +254 721 963 156 to order. We deliver countrywide/worldwide.

Cracked Feet Treatment:
Exfoliate the Feet
Exfoliating the feet removes the hard, rough skin and reveals soft, smooth skin. Therefore, use a foot file or pumice to gently rub the skin and remove the dead skin cells. Do not use a foot file or pumice stone if you have diabetes.
