Default itchey feet, PN?

Hi

I was dx'd with mild PN in my feet last Dec. I mostly just feel numbness around the arches, some times get cramps in the toes. I have Lidocane patches, and use them 3-4 times a week.

I've heard the symptoms of PN in the feet are numbness, shooting, burning.

It itchey feet also a symptom? They are itching on the bottom. I can't see anything to be causing this. I would say it's like poison ivy itchey.

I do take 600 mg ALA, as the PN was caused by diabetes. I take a bunch of meds for a bunch of problems, but have not added anything new for months. Or is this something I need to see dermatologist for? When the patches are on, they don't itch, but when they come off, it starts again.
