Cracked heels are a major cause of concern since it is not only an embarrassing condition but also painful in nature.
Moreover, the condition can also interfere with your wellbeing in one way or another.
Cracked heels can be a result of vitamin deficiency, fungal infection, hypothyroidism, atopic dermatitis, juvenile plantar dermatosis, psoriasis, obesity, pregnancy, and aging.
But this condition is treatable. There are many ways of getting rid of the condition. One way is by using lemon alongside other components.
Lemon is fully endowed with antioxidants that help in combatting the condition by suppressing bacteria and also due to their antibacterial and acidic properties which are effective in counteracting the condition.
In using lemon to fight this condition, you will need the following: 1 tablespoon of salt, 1/2 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons glycerine, 2 teaspoons rosewater, warm water and pumice stone/foot scrubber.
Procedure
Squeeze a lemon in a cup to half full, then in a basin containing warm water, add 2 tablespoons of salt, glycerine, and rosewater respectively including lemon juice.
Using the foot scrubber, clean the affected part and dab the mixture on the area. Leave it intact for the whole night then wash it off with lukewarm water in the morning.
This should be done on a daily basis for a better result.
