[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for writing here. You are suffering from keratoderma. It can be due to dust, soap allergy etc. At times such keratoderma can be a part of psoriasis. Use soft shoes and cotton socks. You need to apply a good keratolytic like Whitfield ointment. Apply it at night. Painful red cracks suggest secondary infection. Applying antibiotic cream over it can heal the lesion. White petroleum jelly also helps in healing the lesions and keep feet soft. Hope this will help you. Take care.
