Recurring Rash On Right Foot, Blisters Which Itch. History Of Heavy Drinking. Remedy?

I have a rash that comes up on the bottom of my right foot every now and then but it seems to appear more often recently and now it is three small blister like things that itch somewhat. In the past 4 or 5 years the thing would go away but now it seems to stay around. Also, I have a rash that has come up on my neck and it is there all the time. Is it possible that I have been exposed to hep C? I believe there was a girl in my past that has it now according to rumor. It has been about 10 years since having sex with this girl. I also seem to have tremors where my head shakes a little. I am 50 years old with a history of heavy drinking (alcoholism).

Hi there,
you may be having a simple eczema.
Apply a moisturizer in morning, a steroiD ointment like fluticasone at night.
