How to treat dry, cracked skin on my feet? (photo)

I agree with Dr Ethan that this is likely to be eczema affecting the eyelids from the desciption but do see your dermatologist to confirm this. Mild steroidal creams or non steroidal creams like elidel or protopic can help to settle the eczema. Avoid scratching and rubbing the area as this will further aggravate the skin. Yoy should also use a gentle soap free cleanser when washing the face. If you are using cosmetics around the eyes, you may want to consider stopping this for a while as some products may cause the skin to become more itchy and red.

Hello CLST – for very dry skin, budget yet effective solutions would be to go to a polyclinic/NSC and get a prescription for a super big pump bottle of QV or aqueous cream – I think those come by the litre. They are also sold pretty cheaply if you pick it up at the pharmacy. Click this link for what QV cream pump bottles look like. I have 2 of those at home for when I have dry skin myself – just apply liberally after you shower, and up to 3 times a day or more. Avoid very hot baths and showers as well, which can dry your skin.
