Dry, Redness, Peeling In Right Foot, Breakout Of Pimple Kind On Chin. No Help From Ointments. Thoughts?
My right foot has been peeling for several months. I don't notice any oozing or smell, just peeling, but it reminds me of being very dry. I have tried coconut oil, vasoline, ointments of all sorts and it doesn't seem to go away. There is a little redness of the top of my foot as well. In addition, not sure if it is related, but I have had a breakout on my chin line as if I'm a teenager. Pimples of sorts, I can't seem to get rid of them either. Again using all types of things to stop. Some go away, then others appear. Any thoughts.

hi.. thanks for using HCM, you have crack foot.. this may happen due to the deficiency of vitamins/exposure to cold weather/unhygiene.. see your dermatalogist for the cream with exfoliation and emoliants.. use socks every day, maintain good hygiene of the foot... start multivitamin with minerals.. all the very best..
