Hello doctor,
I have a big problem with my feet. They are turning green on the heels and the skin is very dead and cracking really bad. Can you tell me what to do about this and what it is?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your case. You are having keratoderma. And most of the time it is due to dryness. Soak your feet in lukewarrm water for 30 to 40 minutes and then rub with file or pumice to remove dead skin and then apply vaseline or petroleum jelly two times a day. Take care.
