Brief Answer:
Hyperkeratotic eczema, salicylic acid steroid cream & moisturising cream

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic

I have gone through your complaints as well as reviewed the attached photograph.
It seems to be hyperkeratotic eczema.

If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply salicylic acid and steroid combination cream like Halox S ointment on the affected areas twice daily along with application of a moisturising cream containing white soft paraffin on the entire foot twice daily for 2 weeks.

Steroidal preparations are prescription drugs and should be taken under the supervision of the doctor.

Regards
Dr Asmeet
