Hello.
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
To get rid of the rough skin you need to exfoliate this skin regularly by first dipping that area in warm water and then cleaning and exfoliating with help of a pumic stone. Use shampoo to clean the area and then use warm oil to moisturize it well every week.
