Two months ago, I had a blood test, and my hemoglobin was 6. My doctor prescribed Livogen and Ultrafeolic tablets, which I have been taking for 2 months. My hemoglobin has now improved to 10, but my heels are cracking and very painful. I have tried creams like crack cream, white petroleum jelly, and Vaseline, but nothing helps. Why is this happening, and what can I do to treat it?

Heels may crack due to anemia recovery, dryness, or vitamin deficiency. Apply urea based creams at night. Take Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, and Zinc tests.

Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...

Take a Vitamin B12 Test Test or Take a Vitamin D Test Test
