Question : Hello Doctor, I am 41 years old and I have developed this hard skin on my toes (Pics attached), I play soccer regularly and I am guessing its because of this. I usually apply vaseline and wear a sock at night everyday but its not improving the condition. The dryness is persistent. Can you please advise?

Brief Answer:
Xerina

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
It is callosity, developed due to repeated injury and friction.
Apply xerina cream daily in night for a month.
This will make your feet soft and reduce the thickness of skin.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.

Thanks, should I apply it only on the affected area or can I liberally apply cream to the entire feet?
