Ragaden
Fissures are cracks or tears in the skin. They occur when the skin is dry and insufficient moisture is retained. Dry foot cracks are usually located in the callus of the foot, often on the heel. Calluses are caused by pressure and friction.
Shoes that do not fit properly can cause excess calluses. Other causes are incorrect foot position, standing a lot and being overweight.

Pathological Calluses
If further thickening occurs, a pathological callus is formed, it is an abnormal thickening of the stratum corneum, also called hyperkeratosis.
Horn Nail
