Suggest Treatment For Itching And Dry Skin On The Ankle Joints

Hello Doctor I m 32 female, normal health but suffering from one very irritating skin problem, craks with wound on the ankle joints with itching since last 8 years. Gone with treatment but no relief till now.. Initially it was on hand finger joints but gradually spread on ankle joints. Now I am very upset as it is inreasing day by day. At Fingers it is not much now but at ankles joints it is in severe condition. Pls suggest me something. I can t wear sandles etc due to bad looks of my feet because of this problem. Pls advise me.

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,
