        abstract = {Diffuse Plantar Hyperkeratosis is another name for cracked feet. It can occur in both the feet or either one foot. Cracks are an initial or partial break in the continuity of the skin. Fissures are superficial linear cut wounds involving epidermis and when dermis is involved, they become painful. It is seen in both the sexes i.e. male & female, in old people & persons who walk bare foot. The incidence of cracked feet is more common in females than males due to over activity of work in water, causing cracks in soles of foot which presents with dryness, peeling or flaking & bleeding of the skin which is painful. The homoeopathic medicines are selected after a full individualized examination and case-analysis which include the medicinal history of the patient, physical and mental condition etc. Miasmatic tendency (predisposition/susceptibility) is also taken into account for the treatment of chronic conditions. Miasmatic evaluation suggested predominance of the sycosyphilitic miasm due to excessive thickening and overgrowth of skin tissue with formation of deep fissures and tissue destruction. Individualized homoeopathic treatment along with proper foot care demonstrated symptomatic relief and improvement in walking discomfort. The case highlights the role of constitutional and symptomatic prescribing in the management of cracks and fissures of Plantar skin and emphasizes the importance of holistic assessment in homoeopathic practice.},
