Itchy patch on left foot

2017-11-12 13:44:23
There is an itchy patch on his left foot and this has happened due to wearing shoes for almost 13-14 hours everyday. It started as a small patch but it has now grown on whole feet and its very itchy and became hard. Went to local doctor and they said its psoriasis. What should be done to control itching and eradicating it from root?

This may be eczema. Eczema has to be treated in the acute stage and later some precautions can help minimise the recurrences. Do not use soap over the affected areas. Please call me or contact me through online consult option with photos for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
