Peeling skin on foot?

My right foot has developed dry peeling skin on the bottom, sides and in between my toes. This only affects the right foot, my left is perfectly normal. I though it may be a case of athletes foot that would run it's course but it's been a few months now and even OTC athlete's foot cream hasn't helped. How do I get rid of this?

    Manuka honey from New Zealand can be put on your feet and has worked to kill fungus. The Manuka honey will repair the damaged skin and insure that the skin is bacteria free, Make sure the honey is Active +15 otherwise it is no better than table honey. This honey is powerful enough to be approved by the FDA for use on burns and infected wounds. Your feet will be soft and feel great. Email me if you need a source.

    I think that you can try afew things. One is the obvious that everyone has said and that is scrub it really well and cover with aloe and moisturizing lotion. But I think that if you can get your hands on some Parifin wax with oils it might help with keeping your skin in a healthier state. With the wax you would get it warm and then basically stick your feet in it and then take them out and do it a couple of times allowing the wax to solidify between each dip to ensure the wax is coating your feet fully and to get about 4 to 5 layers of it on. Then put your feet into plastic bags or plastic socks to keep the heat and moisture in for about 15-20 minutes. It will make your feet soft and moisturized. Thus helping bring back your skin to a healthy state and it will make your feet feel great.
