Cracks and fissures in the skin, particularly on the feet, are common issues that can cause discomfort and potentially lead to more serious problems if left untreated. These breaks in the skin can occur due to either excessive dryness or moisture. When the skin is too dry, it can become rough, flaky, and prone to developing deep fissures, often at the base of the heel. Conversely, when the skin is too moist, it can become a breeding ground for bacterial or fungal infections, leading to cracks between the toes. Individuals who frequently walk barefoot or wear open shoes are at a higher risk of developing dry skin issues. On the other hand, those who wear shoes without socks or shoes and socks that do not allow proper ventilation are more susceptible to moist skin problems.
