Calm and Think: There are several different ways to address your skin condition. You will first need to love and respect your body to be able to take care of it. Topical creams specifically those consisting of moisturizing or keratolytic treatments, including: urea, lactic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, tretinoin, Vitamin D etc are used. You can also do laser treatment. Please see a dermatologist.
