Skin problem on feet and hands
From last 17 years I am suffering from a skin condition in which the skin of my feet and hands gets dry and skin flakes comes out. It itches and irritates like anything. I have undergone various medications. The condition improves and ince I stop the condition again reappear. Recently I applied Halovate S ointment. When I came to know that its steroid I stopped using it. I am attaching picture of the affected area.
Please note that:
My thyroid is normal.
Recently, 6 months back I gave birth and I am breastfeeding mother.

This is palmoplantar psoriasis. It is controllable with medication but not curable
Tab. Primosa (1000mg)- once after dinner for 4 months
Wash affected area twice daily with Cetaphil cleansing lotion
Morning and night-apply MOISTUREX cream + CLONATE OINTMENT- mix in equal proportion and apply for 2 weeks
After 2 weeks stop CLONATE OINTMENT and apply only MOISTUREX CREAM TWICE DAILY for four weeks
Review after 4 weeks

Hello dear. Are there any other body sites affected ? Given the duration of your condition, a thorough medical check up is warranted, including a cardiac profile and joints checkup, if it really is psoriasis. I am very much inclined towards thinking of other possible diagnoses.
Next Steps
Please schedule an appointment for proper evaluation and treatment of your condition
Health Tips
Steroids are not bad. Infact, topical steroids are 1st line of treatment for psoriasis.
