There are many cosmetic products
available for sale over-the-counter
that are marketed for use on dry skin
and cracked heels, but that have not
undergone the rigorous evaluation of a
clinical trial. This lack of evidence base is
of particular concern in regard to foot
care for people with diabetes. The aim of
this study was to assess the effectiveness
and safety of Scholl Cracked Heel Repair
Cream K+, a moisturiser containing
25% urea, specifically designed for the
treatment of cracked and fissured heels.
