Hi doctor,
My hands are dry and flaky. How to cure it?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your concern and examined your picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Though your given picture is not that much clear, I can make out ichthyosis in your forearm (genetic skin disorder - dry and scaly skin). I suggest you use Moisturex soft lotion twice daily and tablet Levocetirizine once daily for seven days after consulting your GP or near by dermatologist.
