One foot itches and is peeling..PLEASE HELP! - Foot Problems Message Board

Terra_Antares · 04-30-2002, 09:19 AM

Hi! Ok, first off, I know it's not athlete's foot. Only one foot has itched for about 3 years now. Sometimes it goes away for a few days. The bottom of my foot is thick and scaly. I have tried all the over the counter meds for athletes foot for years now. All they do is get rid of the itch for a few hours. I am a at home mom and don't wear socks or shoes that often. So my feet have all the time in the world to "get air."
When I was pregnant with my daughter, the doctor told me that it was a certain symptom that pregnant women get.
Well, I had her 15 months ago and still the problem persists.
Does anyone else have this, or has anyone had this?
Maybe I should use the O-T-C for 2 months instead of one???
I appreciate any feedback on this itchy situation!
Thanks,
Terra

~~First, thanks for caring!~~~~I am allergic to laundry detergents and certain soaps, so that is a possiblity I haven't considered. But, I definitely will get to the doc and find out. And again, I appreciate you taking the time to help me.
