A member asked:
Feet are extremely dry and flaky. not athletes food. nothing has helped: lotion and oils w/ socks, exfoliates, etc. should i see dermatologist?

Podiatrist?: I would probably start with a podiatrist (could be easier to get in to see and less expensive). Otherwise, a dermatologist would be a fine choice. I hope you feel better soon.
