Brief Answer:
keartoderma,Moisturizers will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.I can understand your concern about skin problem.

As we all know estrogen plays an important role for females and low estrogen levels causes many problems like osteoporosis,atherosclerosis etc.

Lack of estrogen leads to dryness and thickening of skin of palm and feet.This causes itching and discomfort.At later stages lesion may become eczematous .This condition is known as Keratoderma climactericum.

Unfortunately there is no specific treatment available for this condition.Application of moisturizers two to three times daily will help in reducing itching and dryness.

Avoid using harsh soaps and detergents.In case there is severe itching you can use a steroid cream like betnovate.

Hope this will help you.In case of any concerns I will be happy to help you.Take care.
