HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your concern for your father, the diesel have a corrosive property it may not cause keratosis, but of course can cause corrosive effect on skin and that may not be dry skin as you said the Keratosis is the dry skin condition and this is happens due to the deficiency of vitamin A I would advise you to better have opinion from dermatologist take care of your father have nice day.
