What Causes Peeling Of Skin Around The Ankles?
I don t understand my feet. It started out with the skin peeling around the ankles and then I woke up one morning and it look like someone took a knife and sliced open all the lines in the bottom of my foot. On top of that I now have soft corns inbetween my toes. The left foot has the soft corns between the big toe and the one next to it and the right foot the skin is still peeling around the ankles and on the side of my foot. What can I do

Hello,
It could be of great help if you can send a photo of your problematic foot to me, so I can evaluate further with the final diagnosis.
We should rule out any more serious skin problems of foot first like fungus through skin scrapping examination. If negative, it could be due to dry cracked heels. Keep good local hygiene. Keep them well moistened.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
