Hello Doctor,

I have a problem with my skin, I have rushes on skin under neath my under feet and under arm  I used cortisone 10 to get rid off the itching problem.  For some reasons,  my under feet cause a serious problem my skin is turning into dark just under feet i don't know exactly what is the cause. I still have the same problem until now.

Thank You very much Dr.R I have a appointment with my doctor on the 29th I will ask him about what you said again Thank You Mary Young.

Mary:

I may be wrong, but I think what you are describing is "ichthyosis. " This is a dry skin condition, often hereditary but not too serious, which worsens in the winter and tends to be more severe on the legs.  Lacticare is good, but you may get a little better effect from a prescription strength moisturizer containing ammonium lactate, which your doctor can give you.  Also, don't forget to humidify your house, or at least your bedroom, as much as possible.

Best.

Dr. R
