I have tried several different lotions and my feet get so dry, and I am told it is due to my neuropathy, which I have not found a medicine that will help the pain, and there is no medical reason for why I have this problem. As the doctors have stated. But is there anyone out there that can tell me what I might use on the bottom of my feet to stop the sores breaking out. I take coq10 as well that has helped with the pain. Thanks

are you getting sores or cracks? i get cracks in my feet and if i put vaseline on it and put a sock over it and do this for a few days, the cracks heal up. Cracks can be very painful.

The main cause of foot skin problems is Athlete's foot.
These will be blisters with fluid in them that burst and peel. They hurt and burn. They are red. This fungus may heal up a little, but it remains in the deeper skin layers dormant and I believe it affects the nerves then even in that state. The best treatment for it is Lamisil (Terbinafine ) cream. Use daily for 7 days, (14 days for severe cases) and it will heal up. Many Tinea Pedis organisms are resistant to the older antifungals, so choose Lamisil for best results. Cracking skin on the feet is a sign of low Omega-3 status. Taking flax oil, evening primrose and fish oil daily will help the skin be more supple and normal. This link shows the various presentations of this fungus from mild dry looking skin to red raw outbreaks: http://www.skinsight.com/teen/tineaP...hletesFoot.htm Severe weeping lesions may become infected with bacteria, and then be much worse. Soaking the feet now and then in epsom salts, and rubbing the dead skin off afterwards will soften dry skin on the feet as well. People who only shower, and not take baths, will have dry skin left on the feet, commonly. Soaking in a tub removes the dry skin more effectively. Using harsh soaps that are detergent like Zest and Irish Spring, also defat the skin and make it more vulnerable to cracking. Use unscented Dove instead.

It is not the neuropathy, either. Neuropathy is nerves and nerve signals. Epidermis problems should be treated by a skin specialist. They are most aware of how & why symptoms appear & how to treat then properly. See a Dermatologist

One cause of red spots on the hands is a genetic kidney disease.
I can't recall the name, but it was on Discovery Health. The young man had foot pain too. ( I thought it was Fabri's disease, but I am not sure. Maybe Felty's... I think it started with an "F") Many palmar red spot type rashes are indicators of systemic disease of some kind. If you Google red spots on hands there are many sites with lists etc.

Yes my neurologists states that it is due to my neuropathy, that it is one of the effects of it. And I am looking for another way to treat it then constantly running to a doctor for a prescription medication. I am on a limited income.
