I've got thick hard calloused looking skin on my elbows, it itches, but isn't red. looks white and dry but very thick. It's really annoying. I work in an office and lean on my elbows alot. Any ideas? It doesn't look like eczma

i got callouses on my knuckles from my punchbag and there is a good cream on the market for extremely dry skin.its called eucerin and contains 10%urea.urea is a natural moisturiser in healthy skin.and dry skin conditions such as you callous the skins natural urea levels are decreased which leads to further moisture loss.

Its possible all you need is a moisturiser.
I remember at my very first job, there was this nice looking chap that always had a white and dry elbow. one day I bought a bottle of Vaseline intensive care and showed him how to use it. He was really applicative and his elbows were never white again.

Get some Heel Balm from Boots and put that on your elbows every night !
At work wear some protectors !

Probably sounds stupid, but chop a tomato in half and put your elbows in it. It works really well. But sounds crazy I know.

have a parrafin wax treatment done on it, it is an intensive moisturiser and will work a treat!

my mate has it and she doesnt use medicated cream or anything. she just uses nivea body lotion and it clears it up a treat
