Kerasal Intensive Foot Ointment: https://amzlink.to/az05VWDfND6wS

Struggling with dry, rough, or cracked heels? Dermatologist Dr. Dray explains why urea is one of the most useful skincare ingredients for treating dry, thickened skin on the feet and what to look for when choosing a foot cream or ointment.

Urea is a humectant that helps the skin retain moisture. At higher concentrations, it also acts as a keratolytic, helping soften and loosen excess thickened skin. This makes urea particularly useful for rough, callused heels that are prone to cracking.

In this video, Dr. Dray discusses how urea works, which concentrations may be helpful for dry and rough feet, and why the formulation matters just as much as the active ingredients. She also explains other potential causes of cracked heels, including mechanical stress, aging, keratoderma climactericum associated with menopause, eczema, psoriasis, and athlete's foot.

People with diabetes should take particular care of their feet because cracks can increase the risk of infection, especially when neuropathy or circulation problems are present.

Dr. Dray also reviews Kerasal Intensive Foot Repair Ointment, a product she likes for thick, rough heels. Its combination of urea, salicylic acid, and an ointment vehicle helps hydrate and soften thickened skin while reducing moisture loss.

Discover why urea is worth looking for in foot care products, how ointments compare with creams and lotions, and how to care for dry, cracked heels without relying on aggressive exfoliation or marketing claims.
