Hyperkeratosis is a common problem that affects many people. It is a condition in which the skin on the feet becomes rough, thickened and may crack. If you notice rough skin on your feet or cracks on your heels, it is important to see a professional podiatrist in good time. In Rzeszów, one of the best clinics offering this kind of care is Podokom.
What is hyperkeratosis?
Hyperkeratosis is a thickening of the outer, horny layer of the skin caused by excessive production of keratin. It is the skin's protective response to pressure, friction or other external factors.
The main causes of hyperkeratosis:
- Mechanical stress: wearing uncomfortable shoes or high heels, or spending long hours on your feet.
- Health problems: excess weight, flat feet, foot deformities.
- Insufficient foot skin care: irregular moisturising and exfoliation.
- Age-related changes: with age, the skin loses elasticity and becomes more prone to cracking.
Left untreated, rough skin on the heels can lead to cracks, pain and even infection.
How does a podiatrist help with hyperkeratosis?
Treating feet with hardened skin and cracks is a complex process that only a professional podiatrist can carry out properly. At Podokom we use modern German equipment that makes treatments painless and highly effective.
Stages of treating hardened skin and cracks:
- Diagnosis. The specialist assesses the condition of the skin and identifies the causes of the problem.
- Removal of hardened areas. Carried out with modern equipment, without pain or damage to the skin.
- Treatment of cracks. The podiatrist carefully cleans and treats the cracks, preventing infection from developing.
- Moisturising and protection. Special professional products are applied to regenerate and moisturise the skin.
All instruments at Podokom undergo multi-stage sterilisation, guaranteeing complete safety for our clients.
Why is it important to see a specialist?
Trying to remove hyperkeratosis or cracks yourself can lead to complications such as infection or worsening pain. Only a professional podiatrist working in sterile conditions with specialist equipment can solve the problem effectively and safely.
Choosing the Podokom clinic in Rzeszów guarantees:

A story of successful skin recovery
Anna, 38, came to Podokom complaining of very rough skin on her feet and deep cracks in her heels that made walking uncomfortable. During the consultation, the podiatrist explained that her condition was linked to wearing uncomfortable shoes and insufficient skin care.
The recovery procedure:
- Removal of the hardened layers using German equipment.
- Treatment of the deep cracks with professional products.

Four weeks after the treatment, Anna was delighted to find that her skin had become much softer and the discomfort had disappeared. She now visits the podiatrist regularly and follows the care recommendations, enjoying soft, well-cared-for skin on her feet.
