Dry feet (cracked heels)

Dry feet affect people both in winter and in summer, especially the heels. The heels can even split and are very painful when lotions, soaps, dirt, or chemicals get into them. Some over-the-counter options can be very helpful to combat the dryness.

Nail Fungus (onychomycosis)

Nail fungus is where fungus grows into the toenails, and occasionally, the fingernails. The nail(s) will get thick and yellow, and sometimes the nail splits at the far end. It usually happens in people with athlete’s foot (damp, peeling skin between the toes, and dry skin on the bottom and sides of the feet).

Athlete's foot

Athlete’s foot is a rash caused by fungus. It is usually itchy. There’s damp, peeling skin between the toes, sometimes dry patches on the bottom and sides of the feet. Splits between the toes are called fissures and are very painful. A combination of over-the-counter treatment options usually works.
