INTRODUCTION

Treating painful, cracked and bleeding open areas on the heels known as heel fissures can be challenging due to the limited resources and options with long term healing results. Many of these patients suffer from a loss of sweat gland function in the stratum corneum and intercellular matrix layers the plantar surface of the foot. This causes dryness, cracks and sometime painful bleeding heels. Evidence shows that over 75% of these patients with diabetes had dryness, cracks or fissures on their heels. In addition, this may lead to additional complications such as foot ulcerations and/or cellulitis in the future.
