Call me crazy - - not sure where to post this....Itchy Feet!

Jenwith4kids

My feet are SO itchy.... it is driving me crazy.

My pcp said that could be associated with neuropathy ... I finished taxol (after AC) in August. I had NO other neuropathy whatsoever.

It's not dry skin, sometimes it seems bumpy, but not really. OTC cortisone doesn't help. Gold Bond powder doesn't help. Moisturizer doesn't help. It's definitely worse at night, but not limited to nighttime.

Any ideas??

Feeling silly.

I've used Ocean Potion for Itchies. Has aloe and lidocaine, other things in it. It's an after sun, sun burn gel I found at Walmart.

Might want to call your dermatologist.

Oh geez, this sounds very uncomfortable.

Have you discussed with your physician

Hand-Foot Syndrome (HFS) or Palmar-Plantar Erythrodysesthesia?

Here is our page on Neuropathy. One of the symptoms is "tickling". Perhaps it could be also described as "itching"?

I had tingling, itching, and peeling skin on both feet during Taxol. My toe joints are painful also. I have peripheral neuropathy from the chemo. I am currently on 2 meds for it, and it is getting better. I would have it checked just in case, you don't want it to stay permanently.Good Luck!
