Has Dead Skin Under Feet. How To Treat This?
No blade .Emoolient and whitefild will help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Peeling of skin seems to be due to old age.
Skin barrier function is disturbed in old age leading to loss of water from skin leading to exfoliation.
Do not try to remove it with blade.
It can cause injury and secondary infections.
Soaking feet in warm water at night will help.
Applying a plenty amount of emollient is required in such cases.
Emoderm cream or emolene cream are two brands of emollient which are easily available.
A keratolytic agent like whitfeild ointment can be mixed with it.
Whitfield ointment contain salicylic acid and benzoic acid which helps in removing thick skin.
As the problem is age related it would be important to continue emollient for long time.
I hope this will solve your problem.In case of any concerns I will be happy to help you.
Take care.
