DON'T TRY TO REMOVE PEELING SKIN FROM YOUR FEET
posted: Oct. 26, 2020.
The seasons can play a role in roughing up your feet, with summer typically leading to peeling and blistering and winter to dryness, cracked heels, and peeling. So when your dogs start barking over the scaly skin situation going on down there, it can be super tempting to take matters into your own hands by picking. Don't, per Jennifer Tauber, DPM, a podiatrist in New Canaan, Connecticut.

"The biggest mistake that people make is trying to remove the peeling skin on their own, either by using some type of instrument, which can lead to bleeding and infection, or an over the counter remedy that may be too harsh for the skin and cause more irritation than good," says Dr. Tauber.
