Q: can niosalic ointment be used for leathery(scales type) dry skin patch with a crack?

Possibly: Niosalic acid might possibly be therapeutic &amp; helpful, but it's necessary to get a proper diagnosis. Your patch sounds like psoriasis, but that needs to be confirmed by a physician first. Hope that helps.
