A member asked:
I am a person who bathes in lotion constantly so why is the bottom of my feet so dry and scalley? should i worry?

Maybe not just dry: I encounter something, especially ton the winter months. I call it the winter fungus. It lingers in the skin and lives in the dry layers of your skin causing further cracking. There are preparations otc that work pretty well, i.e. Lamisil (terbinafine) topical cream etc.... Seems to work well.
