How To Get Cured From The Dark Scaly-like Skin Of My Feet?
I've noticed dark scaly-like skin on the outside of my feet on and under my ankles. I don't know if it's due to a certain pair of sandles I wore this summer or something else. Please suggest an ointment or cream I can use or what might be causing this. I'm 45 years old.

Hi
Presence of scaly lesions over the feet can be suggestive of a fungal infection of the feet.
In case you have any associated itching over the feet as well, then you surely need to be assessed by a doctor so as to rule out a fungal infection of the feet.
In the meantime, you should avoid application of any creams or oils over it.
