Dry skin

Dry skin is an issue we all face at one time or another. Common symptoms include rough, scaly patches accompanied by itchiness and redness. Though dry skin on your feet, or elsewhere on your body, is not a serious medical condition, you should take care of dry patches to prevent them from getting worse.

Special care for dry skin

The easiest way to treat dry areas on your feet is by gently applying a moisturizer after washing them with warm water and a mild soap. If your dry skin does not get better, or if you have other symptoms, it's a good idea to consult your doctor.
