RE: Rash On Tops of Feet
My husband has had this rash on the tops of his feet for years. He is a machinist and works with different metals and such, been to the dermatologist, specialist..ER..blah blah blah, and was prescribed so much predizone he tore his achille's tendon last year. Thankfully it was repaired and he was in a cast for 3 months. The rash was gone. Now it has returned with itching and seepage. Topical creams don't seem to work! OTC doesn't work. What am I to do?

RE: Rash On Tops of Feet
I don't know what is going on (neither does any dermatologist's I've spoken to) the tops of my feet have broken out every spring for the past 4 years- so bad that I have open lesions on my feet. This year I got and added bonus it has spread to my arms. They itch and burn like crazy. I have tried everything under the sun with minimal success. Prednizone was the only thing that has cleared up the inflammations, but the last time I took it (2 weeks ago) it did nothing. What is a girl supposed to do? The only good part is that it goes away in the winter. I already live in Minnesota, so the summers aren't that long. I am a dermatologist's nightmare! Does anyone know why my skin has been freaking out??

RE: Rash On Tops of Feet
I get this foot rash every winter. Only on my left foot. I've use cream and been to the doctor nothing takes it away. The weird part about it is come summer time it goes away. Some people might say move to were its warm all the time. It still comes back. Come late March it will go away until late Oct. early Nov. Does anyone have anything for this or just live with it?

I want to let you know, that I know what you are going through! The first time I had a stress time, I had to wear an heart monitor with sticky patches patches on my chest. When it came time to remove the patches, there was a round circle itchy red rash. It itching had gotten so bad, I tried using the hottest water I could stand to relieve the itching. Until my doctor prescribed #60 TRIAMCINOLONE CREAM 0.1% LB. So I give it try, and it works wonders! There is a slight burning feeling, but that is due to the healing process.

I had very similar problems for YEARS! I finally figured it out myself. I am allergic to aspirin. I would get itchy welts/hives behind my knees, on my scalp, under my waistband, under my watchband. So I avoided aspirin. But I STILL had a problem.....especially on top of my feet and toes. The itching almost drove me crazy!!! These "itchy splotches" looked different. They were flat and looked like purple/dark blue bruises that were directly under the skin. When I stopped using ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin etc.) that problem stopped too. Now all I use is Tylenol! You need to keep a record of what you ate, what medication you took, what cream or lotion or detergent, etc. you used prior to your itching flare ups. It took me years to figure it out. The doctors just give you allergy medications instead of helping you pinpoint the cause. I experimented for a long time.......avoiding what I suspected was the culprit for a long while, then deliberately taking the aspirin or ibuprofen to see if the symptoms came back. They did! So I knew I had found the problem! It is so wonderful not to ITCH! Good Luck to all of you. I'm not saying you all have the same allergies I do. You just need to start being a detective for your own relief!

Hasn't anyone been to a dermatologist to find out what this is? If its so common that this many people on this group has it a dermatologist will have seen it before/know what it is and be able to advise on treatment.

I have found that Palmolive Original Dish Liquid helps for rashes. It sounds crazy but my daughter got a rash on vacation and we went to the doctor several times and none of his expensive medication worked. A neighbor told us to wash with the Palmolive and it healed it up in a few days and has never returned.

RE: Rash On Tops of Feet
I've had this problem for years and the doctors just don't seem to have a clue. Mine bothers me on the top of my hands too. Those are the only two places. There are two things that I have found that make it worse - handling carbonless paper and newsprint. After trying lots of prescriptions and OTC creams, the best solution I found is to use the anti bacterial handwash/sprays right away. I put it on and don't wash it off. I make sure that it gets into the skin. Before I found this remedy, I had broken the skin open from itching before I could get to it. I have sometimes thought that it might be dust mites because it happens when I am cleaning or dusting. Good luck!

I have the same thing but it is on both index fingers, itches like crazy! I thought it was a food allergy because my friend had it every time she ate acidic foods.
Benadryl or another antihistamine should help; I am allergic to them so I use Calamine lotion. It might help some but not a lot. Also keep them very clean and dry, maybe use a little antifungal
powder but not the cream as that makes it itch more. Drinking a lot of water also seems to help, and yes the sun makes it much worse. Good luck.

Do you get this rash only when your feet have been exposed to the sun? If so, then you have sun poisoning. I have it on my left arm(only) and, if I don't cover my arm while outside and when driving, it will turn red, whep up and itch terribly.

RE: Rash On Tops of Feet
Chelsie & Dawn,
I am an Independent Watkins Associate, and we have two products that may help you. The first product is the Red Clover Salve. Red Clover is a natural skin treatment used for centuries by the Chinese herbalistrs and Native Americans to treat skin discomforts. This salve also contains Bee Pollen Extract, Vitamin E, and Beeswax to help prevent chapping, cracking, and blisters; it also helps to prevent reopening of any healing tissue. Many people use this salve for eczema and other skin rashes and irritations. The second product I would recommend you consider is the Petro Carbo Salve (many folks may remember this product from their childhood). This salve is great for minor burns, sunsubrn, minor cuts, crapes, insect bites, and other skin irritations. People use this for severely cracked hands, to draw out splinters, for psoriasis and other dermatitis. When most people think of Watkins, they think of the vanilla, spices, or dessert mixes, but the salves and liniments have been around forever and are really good. Let me know if you would like a catalog, and I can get one in the mail to you. If you order a product and it doesn't work, you receive a full refund.

RE: Rash On Tops of Feet
You are not alone girlfriend, I have the same darn thing!! It is only on the top part of my big toes from the nuckle part up. Sometimes it itches something terrible, other times it just looks red, sometimes it gets to looking purple. I have no idea what it could be. I have had it for several years now. It sometimes blisters up and gets real puffy. Doesn't really hurt though. I have asked my Doc and he has no idea...
