A cracked-like lesion of the skin, often referred to as fissures, appears as linear breaks or splits in the skin's surface. These lesions can result from various factors, including dry skin, excessive stretching, or underlying skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. They may be painful and susceptible to infection if not properly managed. Treatment typically focuses on moisturizing the area and addressing any underlying causes.
