Both my sons have this problem and I was told that this condition was carried by the female and passed on to males. All the males in our family have this condition which affects the arms as well. They have had this condition since they were babies -peeling when they were about a week old. I was also told that it was due to an oil gland missing in their make up ! No females have this condition although I have very dry skin.

i also suffer from this and have tryed everything going! nothing seems to work i always use clingfilm but the creams dont seem to do much. I would also like to find out the names of the creams shown.

Hi, hope this helps a few people, available from boots, off the shelf, Big tub of Aqueous cream 500g on your legs, cover with clingfilm over night, or 50/50 ointment which contains 50% white soft parafin 50% liquid parafin, this was prescribed for psorisas conditions, I was transformed, all these you can ask at your chemist.Please read the labels as it may not be suitable for you., and you need to check with your doctor first. Good Luck xx
