Hello, if you experience cracked feet, the first consideration should be a fungal infection. Many individuals with athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) also present with dry, cracked skin on their feet. Additionally, endocrine imbalances and vitamin C deficiency may contribute to this condition. We recommend that patients identify the underlying cause of the cracking, as different etiologies require distinct treatment approaches for optimal resolution. Most importantly, maintaining dryness and cleanliness of the feet is essential. I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
