Frequently Asked Questions

What causes painful deep heel fissures?

Deep heel fissures (cracked heels) develop when the thick, dry skin around the heel rim loses flexibility and cracks under the pressure of walking. Contributing factors include dry skin (xerosis), prolonged standing, open-back footwear, obesity, systemic conditions (diabetes, thyroid disease), and inadequate foot moisturising. When fissures become deep enough to reach the living dermis layer, they become painful, can bleed, and create an entry point for bacterial infection.

How does Cicaleine heal deep cracks faster than regular moisturisers?

Standard moisturisers primarily address surface hydration. Cicaleine is specifically formulated for skin repair — it contains ingredients that actively support the skin's wound healing and regeneration processes in addition to providing moisture. This accelerates cellular repair in deep fissures rather than just softening surface skin. Clinical studies demonstrate visible improvement within days of twice-daily application.

How should I apply Cicaleine for best results?

Apply a generous amount to the affected cracked area twice daily — morning and evening. Massage in gently. For severely cracked heels, apply at night and cover with cotton socks for enhanced overnight absorption. Continue until cracks are fully healed, then maintain with regular application once daily to prevent recurrence.

How is Cicaleine different from Akileine Urediane or other Akileine creams?

Akileine's range serves different foot skin needs. Cicaleine is specifically formulated for deep, painful cracks and fissures requiring active healing support. Urediane (high urea) is formulated for very dry, thickened, callused skin requiring intensive hydration and keratolysis. Choose Cicaleine for cracks and fissures; choose a high-urea product for general extreme dryness and callus softening.

When should I see a podiatrist for cracked heels?

See a podiatrist if: fissures are very deep and bleeding, show signs of infection (redness, warmth, pus), are not improving after 2–3 weeks of consistent treatment, occur in the context of diabetes or peripheral vascular disease, or are associated with significant pain that limits walking. Diabetic foot fissures require professional assessment due to infection risk and impaired healing.
