After that, scrub the problem areas of the skin with a pumice stone or a special heel brush. Rinse your feet with cold water, dry them and grease them with an emollient cream after half an hour.

You can also make a baking soda bath. Dissolve 2 teaspoons of baking soda in warm water, add 1 tablespoon of liquid soap, beat until foamy. Lower your feet for 15 minutes, then rub them with a pumice stone.

If you see cracks or calluses on the heels, use medicated baths, for example, prepared with the addition of oak bark.
