Gentle exfoliants can help, as can keeping your skin well moisturized. Try to never scrub your skin (this can aggravate the condition) and talk to your pharmacist to see if they can recommend a lotion with lactic acid.
The only old-fashioned treatment I know is to rub in a mixture of salicylic acid and soft paraffin, plus scrubbing with a loofah.
Have you asked the pharmacist at your local chemist because there may well be something produced by one of the large pharmaceutical firms these days.
