Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

It may be keratolysis exfoliativa.. There may be peeling of skin. You consult dermatologist to have firm diagnosis.

I would recommend you to apply most uprising cream containing aloe Vera and vitamin E to apply twice a day on the affected parts. Avoid soap bath. You may use Dettol liquid to cleanse the skin.

You may take vitamin E and A capsules to hasten the response.

I hope you gt my answer.

Thanks.
