Dry, rough skin on the feet can be more than just a cosmetic issue. Your foot is a complex musculoskeletal system that supports your whole body as you walk through life. Taking care of your feet can help reduce knee, hip and back pain as well as make your feet look great in sandals. There are a number of different treatments you can use to reduce dry and rough skin on your feet.

In general, however, rough and dry skin which is not secondary to another health condition is often successfully treated at home. | Dry, rough skin on the feet can be more than just a cosmetic issue.
