Suggest Remedy For Cracked, Peeling Skin On Right Foot And Toes

Hello. I know everyone has rough, dry skin on the bottoms of their feet, but on my right foot, my skin is cracked and almost peeling on the heel. Even some of my toes are starting to peel on the bottom. It's been this was for some time now. I've tried using a file after I shower, but it doesn't seem to help much.

Hello,

Thank you for writing to HCM

I Would advice soak your feet in warm water with glycerine added to it for 10mins twice a week.
Use ureativ cream (moisturiser)daily night in the affected area.
Take omega3 fatty acids capsule daily once.
Don't stand in wet area (water) for long time as it may lead to infection in cracked areas.

Regards
