Suggest Treatment For Itching And Dry Skin On The Ankle Joints
Hello, Dry skin and itching may be due to eczema or winter scaling or psoriasis or infection etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use moisturizer cream locally, avoid allergens or allergic food. Use tablet Atarax. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu, Internal Medicine Specialist
