about three years ago I had hand foot and mouth disease. After the red spots went away my hands and feet peeled
all the skin off. Now about 1 or 2 times a month my hands still have spots where the skin peels off. My feet have less
spots. But under my big toe the skin is real hard and I have a hard time bending the toe. I can peel some of that hard skin off but it lease it sore. The spots on my hands are sore also after the skin peels off. Can you tell me what is causing this. Mae

The hard lumps on the feet sound like callus. For calluses,pls apply lots of moisturing lotion and vit E. Place protective covering or bandages over the sore to decrease friction on the skin until the sore heals. Rub sandpaper disks or pumice stone over hard thickened regions. Soak feet or hands in warm soapy water to soften calluses.Then rub with a pumice stone and apply some moisturizer.
If still the calluses persist,then pls go in for removal by surgical means or with keratolytic agents (medicines that break up hardened areas of skin). Shaving or cutting off the hardened area on the skin by a doctor is also helpful.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or in case you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
