Damaged Skin & Painful Fissures – Why You Shouldn’t Pull Away Hard Skin! 👣
In this case, the patient had pulled and ripped away a piece of hard, dry skin, leaving the area underneath sore, red and exposed.
Although it can be tempting to pick or pull at loose, dry skin, doing so can cause the skin to break, leading to soreness, irritation and an increased risk of infection.
A little foot care advice:
✔️ Never pull or tear away hard or peeling skin.
✔️ Keep your feet moisturised to help prevent excessive dryness.
✔️ Avoid cutting or picking at hard skin yourself.
✔️ Seek professional advice if the skin becomes sore, red or broken.
