thick palms and feet

I have a problem with the bottom of my feet and the palms of my hands. The skin is extra thick. I also have scales on my body and head. My head itches and continues to gather scaley patches.

Hi

This may be a case of hyperkeratosis or thickening of the skin. The cause of this condition may be due to several factors such as in your case ,seborrheic dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis may present with scaling on the body and the head .Severe forms may present as greasy scales on the scalp as well as over the chest and the eyebrows. You may need selenium sulfide or topical corticosteroids for this.

Apply moisturizers over the palm and soles. Vitamin E cream at least three times  a day may be able to help here. This will help smoothen and soften the thickened areas of skin. If the symptoms persist then have this further assessed by your doctor.
