What Causes Severe Dryness On The Feet And Pain In The Toenails?

my right foot had been extremely dry & peeling badly. Also my large toenail had pain in it about 4 months ago, the pain went away from under the nail but now the nail is super thick & looks like there is a fungus underneath it. I don t have great circulation in my legs so my feet go numb sometimes, what do you think this is?
