Erbitux and dry skin

My dad started Erbitux in late February, stage iv lung cancer, and has no big problems until almost two months ago.

My dad's fingers, tips, have cracked and split due to dryness.  His feet have also cracked, split and are swollen.  The doctor stopped his chemo until his feet heal, this was two months ago.  The doctor stopped his treatment for fear of infection. 

I talked with my dad yesterday and he said there has been no change.  Is there anything he can do to speed up the healing of his feet and hands?
