What Could Dryness In Hands And Feet After Recovering From Fever Indicate?
I have never had dry skin before, but recently I've developed rough patches on the palms of my hands that crack along the lines in my palms. I keep moisturizing but its been two weeks and nothing has happened. In addition I have the same dry patches on my feet around my toes. I thought it was because I had a fever awhile back and it is the virus coming through my palms- please advise.

Hi,
It may be post pyretic exfoliation of the skin. Kindly consult the dermatologist.
I would recommend moisturizing cream like liquid paraffin to apply on affected areas. Avoid soap bath. Drink enough water.
I hope this would benefit you.
Thanks.
