Athlete's Foot

[Guest]

the skin on my heels is cracked and often bleeds. Is this a type of athlete's foot? It seems to get better or worse depending on what I eat. Do you recommend a particular diet? Thank you.

It may be athlete's foot or it may just be dry skin. Certain diets and their benefit have not been researched thoroughly. However, decreasing caffeine and making sure you have plenty of vitamins is often helpful. A podiatrist will be able to diagnose your condition and help you with treatments.
