ok, the skin on my hands (palms) and feet are extremely dry, which causes me to scratch my palms or the bottom of my feet almost to the point of bleeding. I use A & D ointment which seems to be the one lotion that provides the most relief. My heels crack which also cause my feet to hurt when I walk. I have always regularly used lotion on a daily basis, drink plenty of water, exercise and eat right, what could be causing this. By the way, I first became aware of this extreme dryness to my skin this past summer (June 2014). Is there anything that you may recommend? Thank you!
