腳跟龜裂護理法
冬天天氣乾燥，大家都勤力塗抹潤膚乳，不過有一個位置不少人都會忽略——腳跟，突然有一日走路腳跟痛起來，才發現腳跟龜裂，有些裂口還會滲血。腳板底沒有皮脂腺，缺乏皮脂的滋潤保護，加上每天走路摩擦，都會令腳跟角質層變厚，經常穿鞋不穿襪、常穿高跟鞋的話更是高危人士。當表皮增厚而且乾燥，漸漸出現淺深不一的裂隙，中醫稱之為「手足皸裂」，裂口深達真皮就會令人感到痛楚甚至出血，如果本身有香港腳、乾癬、魚鱗癬等疾病，更容易出現腳跟龜裂的問題。
如果腳跟龜裂嚴重至出血程度要盡快就醫，輕度的話可以參考以下護理腳跟硬皮小貼士：
1） 如因常穿高跟鞋或鞋子不合腳，要將不合適的鞋子換掉；
2）睡前浸白醋足浴，有助軟化腳皮角質層；趁腳還濕潤時塗抹凡士林
3）不要撕去龜裂的外皮以免形成傷口；
4）家裡要養成穿拖鞋的習慣、
5）可用磨石將乾裂處的角質層輕力除去，再塗上潤膚乳
軟化腳皮足浴
材料：食用白醋3-4湯匙
做法：準備一盆約攝氏40度的暖水，水量浸過腳跟，加入食用白醋拌勻，浸泡雙腳15-20分鐘，最後以溫水清洗雙腳並擦乾、塗上潤膚乳即可。

Care tips for cracked heels
Everyone seems to apply moisturizing cream diligently to combat the dryness during winter, but there is one particular spot that most of us neglect – our heels.
We might be walking down the street one day, and feel a sudden pain on our cracked heels, which may have also started to bleed. This is because our foot soles do not have sebaceous glands to secrete sebum to moisten the skin. When we walk, the action of rubbing the skin against the shoes can create friction, causing the heels’ stratum corneum to thicken. This is particularly dangerous for individuals who always wear heels and those who do not wear socks.
When the thick stratum corneum becomes dry, cracks of varying degrees will develop. The cracks that have reached the inner part of the skin would hurt more deeply and might even bleed. Individuals with athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), psoriasis and ichthyosis can develop heel cracks more easily.
If the condition becomes more severe, do seek proper medical treatment. But if the symptoms are mild, you may consider the following care tips:
1） Opt for heels or shoes that properly match the size of your feet
2）Enjoy a white vinegar foot bath before bed, as it can help soften the cuticle; apply a layer a Vaseline while your feet are still moist
3）Do not peel the outer layer when cracks have formed; you may inflict wounds on the fragile part
4）Develop the habit of wearing slippers at home
5）Gently rub the thickened skin with a pumice stone, then apply moisturizer
Foot bath that can help soften the cuticle on the heels
Ingredient: Edible white vinegar (3 – 4 tablespoons)
Method: Prepare a bowl of warm water (about 40 degree Celsius); dip the feet into the water and make sure the heels are submerged. Add in edible white vinegar and start stirring the water. Soak the feet for 15 – 20 minutes, and wash them with clean warm water. Dry the feet and apply moisturizer.
