If you have experienced dry, scaly feet, you are not alone. “The skin is an organ which acts as a barrier that protects the underlying tissues from the environment. Dry skin occurs when water loss exceeds water replacement. Any disruption to the skin can lead to loss of water, which can be signs of conditions like atopic dermatitis, eczema, xerosis, contact dermatitis, infection, and other chronic skin diseases. Commonly, the feet are subject to chafing and rubbing due to walking as well as the interplay between socks and shoes,” explains Dr. Perez.
While some dryness is normal and common, it is important to check with a doctor if you are concerned. “Dry feet can be caused by a number of different conditions, including foot, fungus, psoriasis, and hyperkeratosis. Foot fungus, psoriasis, and hyperkeratosis are the most common findings in people who come in with dry feet. It is important to get a diagnosis because some treatments for psoriasis may make foot fungus worse,” adds Dr. Karan Lal.
