Heel dry and extremely itchy

2026-04-01 05:25:31
I’ve been experiencing itching on my left heel for the past 5 months. Even after applying Saibol, it hasn’t completely healed. Recently, the itching has increased. Could you please suggest what I should do? Attached photos below

• This looks like chronic dry eczema (heel dermatitis) with thickened skin and fissuring, possibly with superadded fungal component • Long duration itching + scaling + no complete relief with Saibol suggests it is not just simple dryness Helpful Tips / Words of Caution: • Avoid walking barefoot → increases dryness and infection risk • Keep feet clean and dry but do not over-wash • Do not scratch → worsens thickening and itching cycle • If cracks become painful/bleeding → needs early treatment to avoid infection Kindly consult with me via Practo for detailed evaluation and treatment
