What Causes Itchy Rashes On The Feet And Sides Of The Leg?

Hi I was out of town working for a couple of months and developed a rash on the tops of my feet and on the side of my lower leg. I was wearing wool socks and boots 14-16 hours a day, so my feet would stay damp all day from sweat and then from showering. The rash is very itchy , it is raised sometimes and, it is flaky most of the time. I ve used creams for athletes foot, ringworm and, eczema. It just won t seem to clear up. Could you provide me with any info on what to do. Thanks
