General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to dryness. Avoid hard soaps. You can use hypoallergenic soaps like cetaphil. Using moisturisers like liquid paraffin for local application will be helpful also. If no improvement then better to get a consultation with a dermatologist to rule out conditions like psoriasis.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
