Ever since the birth of my daughter ive had abnormally dry/cracked skin on the foot.com of my feet. ive tried the stuff for athletes foot..it didnt help..went to the dr. he said it was just dry skin...ive been using a file/callus file to remove the dry skin once a week..but it always comes back..not sure what else i can do or what kind of condition it is..i thought it was athletes foot..the moccasin type...but after using OTC medication it still hasnt gone away...


i frequently wear flip flops..no high heels..and nike Tennis shoes/socks. and i dont walk much...im not on my feet alot..

any information/ideas/help would be greatly appreciated

Dear Jennifer
Usually, a presription is given based on a patient's inital presentation, however, if the patient has been applying topical antifungals and moisterizing creams without improvement, I would recommend a biopsy to be performed. It is a simple procedure and in the end will be able to give the doctor a more accurate diagnosis to the current problem at hand.

Good-luck and thank-you for contacting foot.com,
