My Palms And Soles Are Extremely Dry And Scaly. I Keep Moisturizing But Nothing Helps.
For the past week my palms and soles are extremely dry and scaly. I keep moisturizing but nothing helps. I was wondering what type of treatment would help me. My skin feels and looks terrible. How long does this take and what does it come from ?

Hi!,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum,
obviously you have to use a good moisturizer ,use it esp after you have soaked your foot in Luke warm water for 15min.You can also apply mild salicylic acid cream with a moisturizer .If nothing works then meet a dermatologist and get your thyroid profile done and check out whether you have psoriasis or not.
take care,
Dr.Chawda
