Medical Conditions - Dry Sole

Dry sole occurs due to lack of moisture on the soles of the feet. It causes dehydration on the skin of the soles of the feet. Soaps and body washes containing chemicals can remove moisture present on the skin. It is managed by keeping feet on lukewarm water for 20 minutes and applying thick moisturizer or petroleum jelly to maintain moisture on the feet.
