My feet ITCH
(2 discussions)
My feet itch soooo bad at night I can’t sleep though the night without waking up a few times to scratch them!
Just when I think I found something that works, it stops.
I’ve tried creams, lotions, even scalpicin (liquid hydrocortizone for itching scalp).
The scalpicin worked for about 4 days, now it doesn’t work anymore.
My Dr. doesn’t have a clue.
He even sent me to the hospital for an ultrasound on my legs to make sure it wasn’t the circulation.
All I found out was my insurance isn’t all that great!
Does anyone have an answer to this?????
Oh, it’s not athlete’s foot.

Have you seen a dermatologist? Without examining you, I can’t suggest a particular cause. Some things I might consider would be an allergy to something such as detergent or soap. If you are diabetic, this might be a neuropathy. You might have a stress in your life that may cause itching to manifest.Taking Benedryl at bedtime (also the prime ingredient in Tylenol PM) might be helpful, provided you are able to take it.

I have the same issue. I do not have athletes foot and the soles of my feet itch. I’ve tried all kinds of cream and it does not stop it. I have not yet gone to the doctor. This is insane, I can’t sleep either.
