Fissures are cracks in the skin and they usually appear on the epidermis or through the epidermis into the dermis resulting from disease or injruy. The lesions may be single or multiple, and can vary from small cracks to clefts of several centimeters long. They may be dry or moist and movement is usually accompanied by pain. The lesions often occur when the skin loses its flexibility due to loss of natural emollients, inflammation, pressure or exposure to harsh weather conditions. Thickening of the outer horny layer of the skin can cause mechanical cracks on the skin.
