Hello,
Thanks for the query.

These marks appear to be due to excessive collection of keratin,

You can use a keratolytic like cotaryl or salicylic acid cream,

This will help in removal of dead skin and will give you a soft skin.

Also use an scrub while bathing,

Dont use soda it may harm your skin.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
