I%26#039;ve been battling problems with itchy feet off and on since winter. Soaking my feet in vinegar and cold water provide immediate relief, but when I use Clotrimazole cream the itchy gets a little worse. Tea tree oil makes my feet really, really itchy. Is this because the medicine is working or is it making things worse? In the long-term, the cream and tea tree oil seem to help, but in the short term it makes things worse.
I think I have Athlete%26#039;s Foot (tinea pedia), but it doesn%26#039;t itch between my toes. It mostly itches on top of my toes. The toes are puffy and have some red and purple discoloration.
My assumption is the bad burning due to tea tree oil or the cream is because the fungus is being destroyed. Is this correct? For some reason vinegar doesn%26#039;t hurt though.|||Your foot problem doesnt sound like its tinea pedis. Athlete%26#039;s foot does not usually produce puffy discolored skin on top of the toes. It might be contact dermatitis, an allergic reaction to a foreign substance against your foot. Are you using a different brand of detergent, new shoes, socks, etc..,?
And no, the antifungal action on your skin would not produce any sensation.|||whom said it is Athlete%26#039;s food (icthing usually between toes) did u consult a dermatologist ??anyhow it may be eczema which have the same complaints so i advice u to try corticosteroid creams it will stop itching ,good luck|||If the tea tree oil is causing a burning sensation, it means that the fungus has flayed your epidermis and it may cause more irritation. Don%26#039;t use the tea tree oil in this case.There are two home remedies for atheletes foot that do help. one is to put dandruff shampoo (the smelly blue stuff) in the affected area, and completely rinse it off after 10 or fifteen minutes. The other is to use a Mentholated Chest rub like Vicks VapoRob or Mentholatum on the affected area at bedtime.|||I don%26#039;t know dude. Maybe it%26#039;s an allergic reaction. I%26#039;d try something else.

I have a Dog (RR) w. a cream colored growth coming from 1of her foot pads on a back leg. rubber feeling 1/8"?
I have a Rhodesian ridgeback with a cream colored growth coming from one of her foot pads on a back leg. The flexible rubber feeling 1/8” extensions that are growing look like the underside of a starfish or live sand-dollar.
What could this possibly be?
How do I treat it?
(I will visit the vet in this week, but was hoping I could get a preliminary opinion)
Thank You,
- Adam|||That%26#039;s odd. I don%26#039;t have any experience with something like this, but I will star for you... good luck.|||It%26#039;s hard to say without seeing the growth ( Glad to hear you are taking her to the vet to have it professionally examined). My GSD has skin allergies which also cause problems with his paws. He had a hard but smooth white growth on the side of his toe nail right at the nail bed. The vet said it was a callus and popped it off. I%26#039;ve seen other growths on dogs feet that were caused by yeast infections. I%26#039;ve also seen warts on the paws as well (not sure how old your dog is). Good Luck hope everything turns out ok!|||Sorry, no vets on this site, and I am glad to see your a responsible owner that knows the dog needs to see a vet.
It could be anything, just make sure to visit the vet, he is the only one in person that can see it and tell you what is wrong with your dog.
Good luck|||It might be a cancerous tumor.
It might be a cocoroach egg.
seriously. we had a dog come in once with the same thing, but it would move. the doctor cut it just to see if pus would come out and out wiggled a few small cocoeroaches. it was disgusting.
it happened that the dog had a small cut on her paw and picked up some roach eggs on a walk. a few weeks later they hatched, and between that time the cut had healed.|||I%26#039;ve had dogs all my life, Ridgebacks for 15 years, and I%26#039;ve never heard of something like this. But I would be very interested in knowing what it is, if you are willing to email me after your visit with your vet.
As far as treatment, I would wait to see what the diagnosis is.|||Adam, I wish I had a a rhodesian ridgeback.|||Sounds like a tumour.
Was thinking a tick but you really just see the ball belly of them.
Needs vet attention.|||Maybe it is a tumor or something else. Bring your pet to a vet.|||It might be fleas...

Aldara 5% cream use for Wart in hand and foot??
hi.. i have 3~4 tiny yellow buble in my hand and foot..and it growth ( i think it%26#039;s wart???) my doctor prescribed .. aldara 5% cream... but i check on the internet....aldara 5% cream are use for genital warts `?? i%26#039;m confuse.. can aldara 5% cream treat on hand and foot%26#039;s ? some one help me please..!!!! :(|||Aldara is used to treat warts on genitals as well. Your warts on your hand may be from HPV (Human Papiloma Virus). HPV has over 120 different strains so dont get startled. HPV can be located ANYWHERE ON THE BODY like your skin. You prob simply just happen to have one of those 120 strains on hands/feet. Check out the stats on that if you want. Its a very common and easily transmitted virus with multiple strains and its expressing itself there. Some of the strains have been linked to womens cancers and is considered an STD. But its just a virus and usually goes away on its own. The aldara simply helps to tx the warts. You should ask a dr for more questions|||Oh yea, good treatment idea and less painful than burning it off with Liquid nitrogen. Easily applied and works. It is also used to treat facial cancers that are wide spread and stimulating an immune response to fight a recurrence.
In those cases those uses are considered off label; but in medicine treatment is left to the discretion of the physician and the patient together.|||that is really weird. it is for hpv..... ok use it anyway cuz if it takes care of hpv it should take care on your feet and hands.

I have really painful cuts and hard skin on the bottom of my feet and tops of my toes have tried lots of cream?
i have tried endless creams but nothing works any ideas?|||I cover my feet in vaseline and then put socks on before bed. This will soften everything up. You%26#039;ll see a difference after the first night. I also use an exfoliating foot scrub a couple of times a week. That should work for you.|||Gold bond is a great cream - found at the drug store.
I also suggest you get a pumice stone so when your feet heal a little you can use it to smooth them down in the shower.
Vaseline (the brand) makes a cocoa butter gel it%26#039;s clear/brown top (CVS makes the same thing cheaper) it%26#039;s great to use in the shower for seriously dead/dry skin - it locks in moisture.
Do not use the Vaseline and sock trick. Contrary to what everyone thinks Vaseline Petroleum jelly is not a helpful product for any part of your body - it%26#039;s PETROLEUM -
stick to pure and natural.
Also - Dr. Scholls makes a cracked heel cream it%26#039;s in the foot section of a drug store.|||Soak your feet in water and then use a foot rasp to remove as much hard skin as you can around your cuts. Then bind those cuts, so they have time to heal. That hard skin shrinks as it drys, pulling the skin apart. If it is hard, that means it is dead callused skin, so you need to get rid of it. Moisturizers only work with living skin.
Also find what is causing the skin to form. Poorly fitted shoes are usually the cause. Callused skin forms to protect the skin under it from friction.|||Sounds more like a fungal infection. My son had a similar bout with it. He was in alot of pain, and nothing over-the-counter helped. He made an apppointment with a pediatrist ( foot doctor ). It was determined that he indeed had a fungus. Was given a lotion to use, and within 24hrs. he began to see results. You have to find a pharmacy that does compounding. I suggest to see a pediatrist.|||Have you tried Gold Bond? Seriously, I have found it to be the BEST!...Also, keep those feet DRY, change socks frequently, wear leather shoes so your feet can %26quot;breathe%26quot;!!!

Can you used bleaching cream to make your feet the same color as your leg?
no because it will irritate your skin real bad.|||Lol .I wouldnt use bleach,but they do make skin lightners,try that
Does anyone know of an effective cream, lotion or jell to help wiht calous at the bottom of feet?
I suddenly developed small lumps at the bottom of my feet. walking is a hussle now.
I think it is called callous. My favorite activity is now gone. Is there a product that
can effectively help? Trim, a moisturizing foot lotion has helped a bit more than other
products.
My physician says there is nothing you can do. I consulted a podiatrist and he said
the same thing. But I think maybe someone knows something.|||Small lumps sound more like spires to me and a good podiatrist should be able to help you. In the event that it is just callous,after you wash your feet and before bed, run a good amount of Vaseline into your feet, wrap them in Saran rap and put socks on. A few nights of that will soften then right up.|||Eucerin works really well. You can find it at Target, Meijer, Wal-Mart, etc. Also at most drug stores.|||If they are just callouses, then try a cream called Eulactyl over a period of two weeks or so, used regularly they should go away. Also a pommace stone when bathing/showering should help.
Check that they are in fact callouses first.|||Please see the webpages for more details and images on Corns and calluses.|||Ok just try it. I use coconut oil on everything that is dry. It works very well. I use the kind for cooking. However someone told me they sell it at the healthfood store too. It%26#039;s designed for your body just try it for a couple of weeks, i%26#039;m almost poitive it will ease alot of your pain. Heck i even used it on my dogs ears the other day. The other puppy bit her ears all up and she had all sorts of scabs on her ears. so i tried it and the next morning her ears had already started to heal.
