Thank you for asking!
If the single foot is involved then i am sure it is some inflammation. Age of 60 might point towards some infection and would need some radiological work up to sort out bone involvement. expertise of an orthopaedists are needed here to be out of woods.Peeling hands make it worth examination and seems like a rheumatological condition or a dermatological manifestation. Needs work up and a complete clinical correlation to be out of woods.
Take care
