I am four weeks post-op; I had pelvic prolapse. For the past week my palms and soles are extremely dry and scaly. I keep moisturizing but nothing helps. I was wondering what type of treatment would help me. My skin feels and looks terrible. How long does this take and what does it come from>
Hi, You seem to have palmoplanter keratoderma. The skin of palms and sole become thick, Chat Doctor.  The cause may be unknown. Genetic tendency may be there. Soap, detergent and excessive water contact might exacerbate the disease. I would suggest.- vitamin E cap 400 mg daily-vitamin A can thrice a day-apply urea containing cream twice a day-cleanse the affected area in detail containing water-keep palms and soles moist with moisturizing cream hope this would help you. Thanks.
