Arches Of Feet Itch Badly. Have Psoriasis On Scalp. Reason For Itching?
The arches of my feet itch BADLY. They have for at least a year, but they are getting worse. It used to be just my right foot , but lately .. it is both feet. i do have psoriasis , mostly on my scalp . I have been reading online & find that many people have this condition. Yet few have found any relief. Any suggestions? Could this be a problem with an organ? What do you think?

Hi, it seems that you are having planter psoriasis, Apply salicylic acid with steroid oint. twice a day. Take tab. neotraxate 15 mg weekly ( 5 mg 12 hourly 3 dose weekly ). Antihitaminics to relieve itching. Use Tar containing shampoo daily. I think you will be improved. Avoid stress, worries. Do not use soap .... Ok
