A member asked:

My feet are so dry and hard on the bottom from being in wet shoes all day. what is the treatment for that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Moisturizing cream: If wet from sweating, try antiperspirant or changing socks mid day or wearing coolmax socks. Sweating drys out the skin because of the salt that is excreted. Moisturize your feet . You could also have athletes foot, if your feet itch. If so see a podiatrist.
