What Could Cause Excessive Scratching In Feet That Leads To Bleeding And Dry Skin Flakes Removal?
Hello Doctor !!
I am a 35 year old & since childhood I had cracks on my feet. Later since 2 years, I am prone to scratches. After office at evening, I remove my shoes/socks & do constantly scratch my feet to a pointed /sharp object. But the scratching does not stop until few dried skin particles are removed. Many times its so intense, I get hurt & bleed due to excessive scratching. I approached a physician, & she said it to be cyrosis or a word which I cant pronounce. She suggested few external medicines, but had no effects.
Please suggest how do I take care & which medicines ???

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Three medical conditions are very common in this, first Scabies, second contact dermatitis, and third is Psychosis ( You have been informed for this) If I would be your doctor then I would treat the dermatitis and scabies together, and for that "Gamabenzine lotion is the best apply this lotion to all over the body for consecutive three days, at night only, have Tab. Livocetirizine 10 mg three times in day. tab. Prednisolone 10 mg three times in day for three days (The dose of this need to be tapered) this will give good result have nice day.
