<s>[INST] My friend is 66. He has many red dots on the bottom of his right foot,  arch area,  and  the skin is peeling off on the bottom of this foot. This has gone on several weeks.   WE did soak his foot in Epsom salts.   Now he says it is getting painful to walk on.    He had polio in his other leg as a child. [/INST] HelloWelcomeI am have read your concern carefully. The history you have presented me with is not sufficient for me to understand what exactly happened and when it happen. Red dots as history is inconclusive of any condition. Skin peeling is a natural phenomenon, however in some cases it very significant. FOR PAIN you can give him diclofenac sodium once daily till the pain persists and then stop its intake and apply volini spray whenevr it hurts. AND I KINDLY REQUEST YOU TO PLEASE POST ANOTHER QUERY WITH MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS.We are always here for your help.TAKE CARE </s>
