Itchy feet

[Debbs73]

Hi all. Just over the last few days my feet have been so itchy, it starts on the bottom of my feet then work's it's way around to the top of my feet. It's on both feet not all the time but often enough as Its driving me mad and feel like scratching my skin of. Has anyone else suffered with this, . Help xxx

I suffer with it too, you're not alone, have you tried to get diazepam from your Dr, it helps loads but my Dr is reluctant to give me it as it relaxes me to much and once it's worn off my pain is really bad. Try sudocrem too sometimes I use it n my feet and that helps fora bit. Huge hugs and good luck xx

He suggested trying calamine lotion,so of to the chemist I went. So far touch wood is eased it slightly. Can only try, to be fair ill try anything at the mo. Maybe worth a try for u. Xxx

Oh yes my feet drive me mad! Usually the tops and around my ankles that itch. I take strong anti histemine tablets for general itchiness all over my body and it helps a lot, I still have the odd extremely itchy day here and there.

Hi Debbs73

Glad to see you've had lots of replies about this. I cannot say I have ever had this but wondered if it might be related to Restless Leg Syndrome? Here's a link about it below as it might be of interest to you;
