It's 3 am and I should be sleeping.
The tops of my feet have been itching for a couple of days now. They really started to itch bad tonight. I woke up around 2:15 scratching my feet. I've put some hydrocortisone cream on them to help, but it doesn't seem to have helped much. It drives me nuts. They kind of burn, too. There's no rash, or bug bite, so I don't know what could be causing it. I did a google search for "itchy feet" and about the only thing that came up for a cause was a shoe allergy. Apparently one can be allergic to one's footwear, and evidence of the allergy won't appear for years. Usually shoes worn at work are the culprit. I thought maybe it was because I started wearing shoes every day that it started (I have a job now, so I can't just lounge around the house w/o shoes anymore), except they started itching on Sunday or Saturday, before I started working, and I wore sandals or was barefoot all weekend.
