Infection
The drier your skin is, the most prone to infection it will be, and the infection that is most commonly associated with dry skin is fungal infection, specifically athlete’s foot which is characterized by itching, scaling and burning sensation. This infection starts in the soles and toes but can be spread to different parts of the body.
