It has really messed up my sleep patterns.

Anybody else ever suffer from this ? I'd rather even listen to FM modern country music than deal with this malady.

wow i could imagine what you are going through. i dont have athlete's foot , but i do have a problem with dry scalp at night for some reason. so dry (usually during the fall/winter season) that the tingling and me scratching my head keeps me awake. i wish i can just rub lotion on my head but i cant because of the hair of course.

it is not itchy because of dandruff or dirtiness (not my problem) but due to just very dry skin in the dry seasons.

hope you find a rememdy

Thanks for the kind words. Went to the doc, he said it wasn't Athlete's Foot but rather a form of dermatitis called Pompholyx. The medical world doesn't have a specific cause for the condition, other than it can be caused by stress or allergy. I did change my detergent last week, so I guess it's possible. Found that Gold Bond Foot Cream with 16% Menthol cools it and stops the itching. It's supposed to clear up on it's own in a week or so.

Never heard of this before but it sounds like something that is curable. All the best...

Why then is the dermatitis confined to your feet? I assume you washed all sorts of clothing in the new detergent. Seems like by now you should have experienced the terrible itching on other parts of your body like your balls.

He said the condition is restricted to the hands and feet for some reason. And he did say that they really don't know the cause. a condition in which small, itchy blisters develop on the hands and feet. Small fluid-filled blisters called vesicles appear on the hands and feet. They are most common along the edges of the fingers, toes, palms and soles. These blisters cause intense itching. The cause is unknown. The condition seems to appear during certain times of the year. If they were on my nutsack, I assure you I'd have been in the ER long ago. I don't mess around with the boys. It looks like this, except it's on the top of my toes. Scratched all the blisters open due to the itchiness.

I remember she said this on Letterman. Doesn't work. Maybe just for some conditions.
