The skin on the bottom of my foot recently have a problem without any reason.
Some of the skin on my foot is starting to flake (it is falling off/ i can pick it off). it is not pain or itch. I would like to know if I can still use some regular skin cream or I have to use medical cream. I am living in pretty dry area. Is that a possible reason? I can’t see skin doctor right now.

Thanks!

Could be dryness/irritation, could be moccasin-type athlete's foot infection. Or something else.

You could try a moisturizer or vaseline for a while and see if it helps.

Start using an athlete's foot spray or something as well, it won't hurt and can only help. "Ting" is pretty cheap.
