Can Dry Skin Peeling Off, Be Healed?

hey. so i have really dry skin on the heel of my foot, and also the bottom of my big toe. it was so dry that i just took my nail clippers and clipped the skin off. now, there's a light pink discoloration on the bottom of my toe, and it feels rough because of the skin i missed clipping. is there any way i can make the skin layer grow back faster?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history you are having planter keratoderma, my treatment advice is -
1. Use a good glycerine soap for daily use.
2. Apply an emollient cream like Enmoist cream.
3. Apply a Clobetasol plus Salicylic acid cream like Clovate SL .

If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
