Feet - PLEASE HELP?!
Question: The skin on the bottom of my feet is peeling off and becoming sore, it looks and feels horrible, the skin isnt hard, its soft and white, sometimes itchy. I've tried using a pummis stone every day, and foot scrubs, and moisturisers. I've even tried an athletics foot cream. I wear leather work shoes but take them off when im sitting at my desk all day. Do you think its because my feet get hot?
Pleeeeeease help.

It sounds like Athletes Foot
You need to see a dermatologist who will prescribe an Iodine powder, which you need to mix with warm water and soak your feet in.
He will also prescribe an Anti-Fungal cream, which you have to apply after soaking the feet.
Ask him for an Antibiotic powder that you can apply after the cream to keep your feet dry.
If possible, go without socks and shoes to let the air heal your feet.
It will take about 2-3 weeks for it to clear.
BTW ... this is highly contagious.
So please do not share shoes or sandals.
Take care

It sounds like you have athletes foot. Try soaking them in Epsom (sp?) salt. If you use that and the fungal infection foot cream and it doesn't work, go to your doctor.
maybe it's because you are doing all that stuff to your feet. might be a fungus, you can use medicated foot powder, or you could go to your doctor and ask him, maybe you need to drink more milk
your feet are holding moisture so moisturizer is a bad way to go, you need shoes that let them breathe and also not walk on them as much until they can heal. I had the same problem, get some cotton socks that are light and some breathable shoes that are not really tight
you got athletes foot, wear boots or shoes that are ventilated, as soon as you get home wash your feet and put on a "clean" pair of socks, it will take a good while,
Sounds like Fungal infection gone mad...go see you Doctor/Nurse immediately as you need a prescription for treatment!
