What Causes Reddened Dry Patches Of Skin On Bottoms Of The Feet?
I have reddened dry patches of skin on bottoms of my feet that at times itches even if the areas are torn open. I understand about the release of histamine etc. I am a BSN RN? My doctor is at a loss for a Dx.... Antifungals, cortisone, and anti- itch creams do not work. I have a Hx of IgM mild suppression, hyper elevated IgE, high neutrophils, elevated eosinophils, and depressed lymphocytes.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The most common cause of red, itchy, dry patches of skin on the feet is a fungal infection commonly called "Athlete's Foot." The itchy patches are usually found on the bottom of the feet. I suggest using an antifungal cream for local application such as Clotrimazole cream. I also recommend to maintain a good hygiene.
Hope my answer was helpful.
