What Measures Should I Take For Scaly Skin On Palm And Feet ?

Hi, I am suffering from scaling of skin mostly of the palm and feet. Though i am 22/F, my hands and feet look as if they belong to some old person. I have tried all sorts of vitamins but nothing helps for more than 2 months. I follow a very regular lifestyle with 7.5 hours of daily sleep and 45 min of relatively fast cycling. To mention, I also eat well. I hardly sweat even after rigorous work in humid climate. Please advice.
