See derm: See dermatologist to see if you have fungal infection. Even if it's dry skin there's a good treatment for this problem.

Common in diabetes: Best advice is keep good glucose control and use skin moisturizers on soles of feet.

Depends on the cause: There are many types and causes of skin rashes that could cause itching. Several types of inflammatory conditions of the skin, allergic reactions, and sometimes bacterial, viral or fungal infections can cause rashes on the skin. Insect bites can also be the cause of a rash on the skin. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
