Dry feet: Yes.  It can be very bad to have dry feet.  Your feet can dry out to the point where they crack open (like the dry desert earth).  When this happens there can be open sores.

Cocoa butter daily can do wonders.

Tinea or eczema: This can be caused by tinea ("athlete's foot") - a dermatologist can find out with a simple test.
