Crack skin (foot)
When the skin on your feet dries out, it can lead to painful cracking and peeling, commonly referred to as heel fissures. The openings in the skin allow easy access for bacteria that can cause infections, making the discomfort worse. If your feet are cracking and peeling, you may be looking for a natural way to treat both the condition and the discomfort that comes with it. With a few simple remedies, you can be on your way to smoother skin and a lot less pain.
Broken Foot Symptoms Usually (but not always) the pain is so bad, that you are not able to walk. ... Bruising of the foot with a broken bone is also common. Sprains can also cause bad pain, swelling, and bruising, so it is usually not possible to tell if a foot is broken or sprained just by looking at it.
