Palm & Foot Skin Flaky

2017-04-10 03:52:07
Hi, My mom is having issues with palm and foot skin. It has become reddish and flaky. As a precaution she has stopped working in water and have also stopped working with any detergents. We did check with local dermatologist and gave ointment bt it has not helped to recover. It's been now almost 3 weeks.
