Brief Answer:
Burning feet

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are concerned about burning of your feet. This could be related to a fungal infection or athlete's foot. I would recommend instead of using the gold bond and neosporin that you switch to lamisil powder. This should help the itching and stop the burning. It may take several weeks before you get complete healing.
