Itching and scaling can occur due to dryness. Apply a urea containing moisturiser, eg- Xerina cream on foot for 1 week at night. Put a polythene on legs for atleast 1 hour while sleeping so that the cream remains applied. After 1 week if there is no relief, take a video consultation or send photos of the feet to make a proper diagnosis.
