See a doctor: If you have tried several over the counter preparations and still have a problem you need to consult a doctor.

Try this: Make sure your feet are as dry as possible. Powder would help absorb perspiration. Another thing that can help is a prescription called drysol applied at bed time. Even under arm antiperspirant sprays containing aluminum chloride used on the feet can help. I also recommend socks made of more cotton or wool rather than synthetics such as nylon or polyester. Otc medications: lotrimin, (clotrimazole) cortisone.

Rash?: Sounds like a rash. Should have a physician check it out. May need a cortisone cream applied to it.

Fins out why...: ..Your feet are itching by seeing a podiatrist. It could be athlete's foot, psoriasis or any number of other reasons. The best cream to use would be dependent on the diagnosis/cause of the itching.

See a dermatologist: Begin with exam and diagnosis. You probably need a prescription.
