No clue on this disease!

[anhpro141]

My dad has had this disease from very long time, he went to a lot of hospitals and cabin to find the cure but it's hopeless. Could any one please tell me what this is? Thank you
p/s: This happens every day and his 2 foot is always in this condition, no matter how much vaseline or lotion he uses. Sometimes, it bleeds in a huge crack with some little skin peeled away.

Go to a podiatrist

(Not professional medical advice) but it looks like contact dermatitis, eczama or niacin deficiency. As an interim solution, I'd remove all pressure and keep the area exposed to air for 2 weeks to let the skin to rebound and strengthen. Clean the area and apply a light coat of triple antibiotic on any open, non-deep wound. A balanced diet, lots of hydration (no alcohol), a daily OTC multivitamin supplement and up to 30 minutes of direct sunlight to help with the skin's natural chemistry and reformation. He ultimately needs to spend less time on his legs for the time being. A prosthetist can be consulted to fix the issue with the fitting, if any.
