Hi,

Should bath with lavender oil mixed in warm water (soak for some minutes). Aveeno hydrating bath can also help. Rinse well. Apply moisturizing feet ointment containing urea and AHA. If no improvement, should see dermatologist further.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
