dry skin? is he dehydrated (are his urates yellow or brownish)? that would be my first thought. i little foot rub with baby oil would probably help. my lily loves to have her feet rubbed.

you can use tripple antibiotic cream. or neosporin (not the pain relieving kind). also iodine/water soaks are healthy all around.

but id also say rub some baby oil or mineral oil on the toes to keep the skin a bit dryer. also, increase yor humidity, and i would feed more melons. they have no nutrition, but are full of water.
