What to do if your toe is cracked?

Friends with cracked toes can actually relieve the symptoms through some external ointments, such as vaseline or erythromycin ointment. Of course, traditional Chinese medicine treatment cannot be ignored. The main purpose of traditional Chinese medicine treatment is to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, nourish blood and moisturize the skin.

1. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that chapped skin is caused by the sudden suppression of muscle heat by cold and dry wind, which leads to blood circulation blockage and lack of nourishment to the skin. It is also related to frequent friction, pressure and immersion. It is advisable to use equal parts of Rehmannia glutinosa and alum to boil a decoction and soak the affected area. Or directly apply Qi'antang foot crack ointment. Usually pay attention to the warmth and care of the skin of your hands and feet. Traditional Chinese medicine treats chapped hands and feet and pain in the hands and feet by focusing on nourishing the blood, moisturizing the skin, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, with significant results.

2. Mustard for cracked feet

For many years, my feet have cracked every winter, spring and autumn. The heels are the most severe due to dryness and cracking. They bleed and sometimes even my toes crack as well. Applying glycerin, cooling oil, etc. didn't work, and applying ointment on the crack didn't have much effect. Later, I accidentally applied mustard, and it was basically healed in two days. The method is: wash your feet with warm water at about 40C, soak for about 10 minutes, and then dry; mix mustard with warm water to make a paste, not too thin, and apply it to the affected area with your hands; put on socks to keep it clean; wash your feet with warm water again the next day, and apply it again, and it will be healed after 2 to 3 times.

3. Vinegar cured my cracked hands and feet that had lasted for years

In the past few years, every time before winter, my hands and feet would crack and the pain would be unbearable. I went to the hospital for treatment many times but to no avail. One year when I returned to my hometown, my mother said: Buy a pound of vinegar, put it in an iron pot to boil, five minutes after the water boils, pour the vinegar into a basin, wait until it is warm, then soak your hands and feet in the vinegar for 10 minutes, soak two or three times a day, and one course of treatment is 7 days. Sure enough, after two courses of treatment, my disease was completely cured and I haven't had a crack for more than 10 years.

4. Noodles can cure cracked feet

There was a strong wind a few days ago, and my heels were cracked and had several deep lines. It was very painful, even when I slept. A friend told me that rubbing flour dough on my heels can cure dry and cracked heels, so I tried it that night. I rubbed the dough on my heels and then spread a thin layer of the dough on my heels. I wrapped it with plastic wrap and put on socks. Sure enough, I didn't feel any pain all night or during the day.
