Rash

The last few weeks the bottoms of my feet have been so itchy, and it's getting to the point now where it wakes me at night and I have to ice them until they're numb so I can go back to bed. My doctor chalked it up to them being so sweaty and swollen. Tonight, though, I noticed there's a rash on the bottom of each one. Anyone else have something similar? Nothing on my bump, so I'm assuming it's not PUPP. I had asked about cholestasis and she didn't think that was likely so maybe it is just from them being swollen and sweaty all the time. It's just such a horrible place to have an itch! I put in an email to her tonight so I should hear back from her tomorrow but I thought I'd ask if any of you ladies were suffering from this too.

If your feet have been sweaty and you've been wearing shoes without socks you might have athlete's foot. However my feet have been ridiculously itchy too and I'm pretty sure I don't have it. I just wish I could reach them to scratch!

My itchy I discovered was due to socks, once I started going barefoot it cleared up in a couple day and I haven't been bothered since.

I would still push for a blood test to double check for choleostasis, I've got it and I only had mind itching on the bottoms of my feet which has gone away now due to the medication I'm on. But if someone hadnt of told me about it I wouldn't of known, my midwife was quick to test for it when I mentioned so I would push for a blood test just for peace of mind. Mine were itchy mainly on a night and it would keep me up. If it's not that it could just be swelling that's making them itchy, try a cooling foot and leg gel before you go to sleep?

I'll ask for that today! Thank you! I've tried the cooling gel and Benadryl. I get slight relief for a little while with Benadryl so I'll keep using that for now.
