Very dry skin
Hi, Can anyone please help me with this issue.
My father's skin is very dry and of late a few red patches appeared on his foot and calves which has been spreading since then. Earlier also similar red patches appeared but as winter offets it automatically heals.

could be psoriasis. Without examination of the skin condition and knowing the extent of involvement.. along with this more information on ongoing medication or history of previous/current skin/systemic illness it is not possible to comment on the treatment that would suit you best. You should send me images through private online consult for a better assessment of the problem and approaching it accordingly. Hope this is helpful.
