Itch Relief?

While vacationing last winter, I developed an unbearable itch on my feet. They felt like they were on fire and I was itching so hard I was afraid I’d tear the skin off. I grabbed some aloe vera (for sunburn) and rubbed it on my feet. Instant relief. Certainly easier than jumping in the shower! Hope this helps someone else. Diagnosed in 2016.

It's crazy how itch will pop in out of nowhere, be utterly unbearable and then vanish. I never tried aloe. Good tip and worth a try

Could be fungal too. Try Lamisil 1% cream.
