Suggest Alternative Medication For Scaly Skin On Legs

Please I need help with my skin, my legs are covered with scales and creams from my local surgery are not helping me. I need to know what is the best way to manage it, have tried vaseline, glycerin, rose water, dermal cream, diplomas ointment emollient and they are not working, glycerin seems to help a little bit, but I need something more helpful, thanks. Prisca.

Hi,
It seems that your lesion requires proper diagnosis of the condition.
Once proper diagnosis is made treatment will be easier and perfect.
Consult dermatologist and get examined.
Rule out diabetes as well.
Meanwhile apply vaseline and keep skin moist.
Ok and take care.
