Suggest Medication For A Dry And Fragile Skin
I have this weird patch of dry and fragile skin on my left footpad. It's only on this area, nowhere else.
I have tried Moisturizing creams to try and remove it, but it always comes back. I have also tried Anti-fungus creams, but it didn't work either.
It doesn't itch, smell or cause any problems, except for the skin by the toes cracks once in awhile. It's just ugly.
I took a picture of it, it doesn't look nasty or anything, but it is embarrassing, especially since i am active in sports that is done barefooted.
WWW.WWWW.WW
Do you know what it is and how i can get rid of it? It keeps coming back.
Ps: I also live in a practically arctic environment, above the polar circle. Can this have something to do with it? There is nothing wrong with my shoes, i think.

HI
Well come to HCM
Fungal infection may be the likely cause of this, and this need to be managed with following medicine
1) Terbinafine cream
2) Beclomethasone cream
1) Tab Fluconazole 150 mg once in day for 3 days
keep the area clean, hope this information helps, have a nice day.
