Dry skin in elbow area

2018-06-22 09:40:43
The skin around my elbows are very dry, and there are even some calluses. I have applied moisturizer regularly but to no avail. Could you please recommend some heavier medication? This dry skin is making me lose confidence, and I want them to heal quickly.
