This started as a tiny insect-like bite on the top of my right foot a year ago. It itched like crazy and when I scratched it the sore increased to the size of 50c. I got some relief with triamcinolone acetonide cream .01% prescribed by a podiatrist, but didn't completely heal the sore.
After a few months the sore "magically" appeared on the top of my left foot, where it has been for over a year now. A dermatologist prescribed flucoinonide cream .05% and it seemed to clear up after a few days, but never healed completely.
Ethyl alcohol in hand sanitizer products will control the itching temporarily. I try not to scratch as this usually results in oozing and makes wearing shoes difficult.
I am still searching for the magical product that will completely heal these sores.

Have you considered whether it could the fabric in the shoes, or maybe dye, or something else about the shoes you are wearing? Maybe even the socks you are wearing? Even if it has never happened before, it is possible.

If any of these suggestions don't work for you I have one more thing you might want to try. My sister swears by it. that is Preparation H cream rub it on at night and put on a pair of white socks. try it for a few days and see if it helps. hope you find a cure soon. I had a rash years ago on the heel of my hand and tried everything I could get my hands on. it felt like the bone was even itching. It finally went away when I moved from the house I lived in. It had to be something there. Good luck.

I had a mysterious itchy rash on my lower legs (not my feet). Used chilled Bragg organic apple cider vinegar 3 or 4 x a day for about 4 days & it helped. Told a friend who had the same problem & it worked for her also. I think any brand apple cider vinegar would do the same. Hope it works for you.

It sounds like contact dermatitis which is nasty and takes forever and lots of products to go through till you find a cure. what finally worked for me for a while was a layer of anti fungal ointment (not tinactin) and a layer of cortisone. This was a copy of a very expensive prescription medication my dermatologist told me to try. I no longer have it on my hands it suddenly appeared on my cheek this week so back to the drugstore I will go. By the way this is tied to my allergies when they get really bad this crops up again. My best friend just got hers back again, hers are on her hands.

I used to have that kind of a rash. It's a foot fungus. It happened because I wasn't changing socks every day and changing which shoes I wore each day. Use tinactin, the important ingredient is tolnaftate.

I see you tried a podiatrist and a dermatologist already. Are you willing to try for a second (third?) opinion with a different dermatologist?
My sister-in-law had some sort of persistent rash on her feet, and tried several over-the-counter products. I don't know if she ever saw a doctor. Eventually she used tea tree oil, and that cleared it up. I'm not sure how she applied it, so if you're interested, do a search on the internet and see what others recommend. Good luck to you -- I hope find some relief soon!
I have this rash on the top of my feet, mostly on my toes, just on top not between them and they get very red and burn.
