Cracked feet normal (YANBU) or not (YABU)

Ok, so like many of us I haven’t had many treatments in the past year. Certainly no pedicure. I’ve developed a painful heel as a result of cracked skin. I’m 43, not overweight (but not tiny), first time ever. Dr Google tells me that cracked feet could indicate all sorts of deficiencies and conditions. I have a bit of health anxiety so am interested / worried / wondering what other people have. So, AIBU:

No: You generally have no health worries and have cracked heels to the extent they are occasionally painful. Or it’s an especially bad year. It’s nothing to worry about.

Yes: I have cracked heels, they’re the result of an illness / condition / something more than a few months neglect. You should get them checked out.

I think some of it is hereditary/genetic. I do nothing to my feet at all beyond cutting my toe nails. My husband suffers with hard skin and cracks even when moisturising etc.
