What's wrong with my foot?!

I have a badly cracked heel but it's been getting better. Yesterday it was much sorer and today it's warm to touch. But there's no blood or anything. What should I do? I feel stupid going to minor injuries and the wait may be hours.

Hopeful bump

Maybe ask the pharmacist? You might have an infection. I'd soak it in a bowl of water with a handful of salt in the meantime.

I'm guessing it took a long time to get like this so it might take some time to get your foot back to normal health.
You can get some cracked heel balm from the pharmacist but Vaseline also works plus it's soothing and it's cheaper.
I suggest you wash the area, completely dry and apply every day. Expect it to take a couple of weeks.
Follow up care is the same but less often.
Hope this helps.
