Brief Answer:
Normal skin

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You have been noticing dry skin on the feet. This is a normal thing to happen. I would recommend that you continue to wash your feet normal and remove the dead skin. I would then use a moisturizer to keep the skin moist and prevent cracking of the skin.

The dry skin could also be a fungal infection. In addition to the washing and lotion I would recommend using an antifungal cream or powder like Lamisil or Tinactin.

In summary
1. normal skin
2. Wash and remove skin normally
3. Skin moisturizer daily
4. Possible fungal infection
5. Use antifungal like Tinactin or Lamisil

I hope this answered your question. Please contact HCM again with your health care questions and concerns
