Hi, I'd encourage both of you to post in the public forum, as well as taking a look at our "Ask an Expert" forum.

I have had a rash on my feet for the past four to five years. It comes and goes and gets especially worse in the summer months.  The rash gets really itchy especially at night to the point where the skin peels and cracks and sometimes creates open sores. I've used all sorts of over the counter creams to no avail and even some medicated creams and antibiotics. Nothing works. thought it was athlete's foot but the area between toes are never affected.  Mostly the area affected is the arch of foot, the top on foot and top of the toes, if ever. I don't know what else to do I have tried everything, even some weird home remedies. Help me, I don't know what else to do!!!! Thank you
