Hello,
i can understand your concern. you seem to having eczema. apply emollient creams over the area. if your feet are in contact with any chemicals like detergents, try avoiding them. keep the skin dry over the area. if emollients do not work, a course of topical steroids like betamethasone would be required .
Hope i have answered your query. Have a nice day
