I have it on the bottom of my feet and although it is not as bad as it was some years back it can still become terrribly itchy and sometimes unbearable.
curly my doc used to prescribe me hydrocorsitone because I had dry patches of eczema on my face.....it does work brilliantly.....but I think people should know......use it very very sparingly.....
No it's definately not athletes foot. It's all the classic symptoms of eczema. My husband has suffered with athletes foot before and it is very different in appearance and discomfort to mine.
TechGirl.....what type of job do you do?.....if you are on your feet all day maybe that's aggrivating it?......maybe just and open pair of sandals may help.
me doctor used too prescribe it too, its funny as when i couldnot be botherd to get from them so, i'd ask for it at the chemists, and they always say " its not for your face" thats where its prescribed for...
sorry techgirl, try superdrug bath oil, its very good
and yes, hydrpocortisone, will cause thinning of the skin, if over used, but it's temporary
TechGirl.....just before you head off.....someone I know also suffers with painful soles of the feet......I recommened that she soaked her feet in warm water....with beleive it or not.......a touch of washing up liquid....she told me that it did ease it. x
It could make me run fast on account of his tickling stick (I'm VERY ticklish), that might have an adverse reaction. The friction when running could be detrimental. I wouldn't want to take the chance.
