I went to the doctor today because my poor little footies were hurting. Now, when I say hurting, I mean low grade hurt when you just looked at them, cracking, bloody stumps oozing nastiness when you walked. About three weeks ago I went to this dermatologist who was supposed to be the best in the state. Nice guy who convinced me to soak my feet each day, then apply this ointment. He also gave me this medicine that was "helpful in slowing the spread of anthrax sickness." After 2 weeks of doing EXACTLY as he said, my whole body was a rash. I was waking up itching (Remember the basement at Aunt Carolee and Uncle Harvey's house, mom, where you would scream at me in the night to stop itching?).It was horrible. The sores, when I would step down on my feet after a night of "healing," would pucker and bleed. So painful. Not even pretty shoes could dress up these feet. So, today I went to the doctor and she told me that I have a "raging staph infection" that has moved throughout my body (hence the rashes all over). I got a HUGE shot in my ass while there and 4, count them 4 medications to take, 2 creams and a partridge in a pear tree. I elected not to buy the partridge because it wasn't generic. The medicine tastes horrible (I can even taste it with wine!) and the medicine burns my feet like they are on fire, smoldering.

Dr. Wilson;
You are not alone. I also suffer from itching on my feet. After years of going to foot doctors and spend $$ on medications no one can actually cure me! I read an article that if you put Crisco on you feet it keeps them soft and not crusty. I tried it and it did help but I cannot get rid of the itching. Hope your feet feel better.
