Yes, the itching is maddening at night! I got a referral to a dermatologist and got a prescription for Fluocinide which helps a lot. I started out with lesions, itchy patchiness all of which drove me crazy. I treated these areas with the med mentioned and keeping colloidal bandages on the wound itchy areas for days if not weeks. These bandaids are water proof and I believe soap and shampoo irritates those areas of concern so keeping soap off feet is important. I wear rubber gloves once I take out the soaps. It looks weeks if not months to get it under control. I treat any developing itchy patches wherever they show-up ASAP to prevent the patch to grow into a itchy, weeping wound, Again, get a referral to a Dermatologist. It is possible with diligent treatment of itchy patches wherever they start.
