In Arizona, dry skin happens. But if your feet are constantly cracked, peeling, or itching—even with lotion—it could be more than just dryness. At Roadrunner Foot and Ankle, we often see patients who thought they just needed a better moisturizer when what they really needed was medical treatment.

Common Foot Skin Issues to Look For

• Athlete’s Foot: A fungal infection that causes itching, redness, and scaling. It thrives in warm, damp areas like shoes or gym showers.
• Eczema or Dermatitis: Red, itchy patches that may look like a rash. These often need more than over-the-counter creams.
• Psoriasis: This chronic condition causes thick, scaly patches of skin that can crack and bleed if untreated.
• Cracked Heels: When dry skin becomes severe, deep cracks (called fissures) can form—sometimes painful enough to bleed or become infected.

When to See a Podiatrist

If your foot skin is painful, peeling, or not improving with home care, it’s time to come in. Our doctors can examine the skin, run tests if needed, and create a treatment plan. We may prescribe topical medication or recommend a specific routine to protect your feet.
