Suggest Remedy For Desquamation Of Feet & Wrist
I contracted Norweigian Scabies several years ago...now I no longer carry the parasite, but my wrists and feet are covered in extremely painful desquamation. I have tried to keep them constantly bandaged with fresh steril gauze and change it twice a day. I cannot avoid a shower, but afterwards to relieve a bit of pain, I do use a coating of vaseline on the erythemous areas with no first layer. I cannot use Urea cream. It burns too much. I have trouble walking because the missing sections on my feet are so widespread. I need a daily treatment for this. Something more than what I have...something concocted from OTC products. I have limited funds.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to eczema on the feet.
Regularly exfoliating and applying moisturizing foot cream can help treat and prevent flaky, itchy, dry feet.
I recommend first soaking your feet in warm water to soften the skin, then using an exfoliating scrub to gently remove dead skin.
Then you can use a moisturizer and apply it on the feet.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
