Aside from heel pains, in-grown toenails and cracked heels are the second most common questions I receive as a podiatrist - especially in Australia where most of us live in our thongs.


In my time as a podiatrist, I have seen some shocking DIY things done at home like pliers…ouch!


So in this episode, I’m teaching you all about cracked heels and ingrown toenails - how to look after them at home, some products I recommend and also what causes them in the first place.


We all deserve to have beautiful feet 💛


This episode is for you if you:

👟 Are noticing that your heels are starting to crack but are too scared to go to the podiatrist

👟 Are frustrated with painful in-grown toenails and want to learn how to treat them properly

👟 Have tried foot masks but hate how greasy they are (nobody wants stains on their bed sheets)

… and SO much more.
