It is necessary to monitor any changes in your body in order to take timely measures and prevent the occurrence of serious diseases. Even the appearance of your heels is important in this.

Cracks don't just appear out of nowhere.

Usually the problem is related to the fact that the man or woman is also facing a serious illness.

Surgeon Alexander Umnov spoke in more detail with representatives of the publication " Life ".

Cracks indicate diabetes, vitamin deficiency, microsis and iron deficiency anemia. Sometimes they indicate a decrease in the production of collagen and elastin.

Most often this occurs due to poor nutrition, non-observance of water balance, as well as due to smoking and age-related changes, lack of care during heavy loads.

The situation cannot be ignored.

As Umnov stated, cracks can become “gateways” for infections.

Sometimes ulcers and suppurations are possible. Then a person loses protein, which provokes additional loss of fluid, and it becomes more difficult for the body to recover.
