Guest guest Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Thanks for your replys dd and Clora. I don't get any kind of bump or skin changes from my burning skin areas. Mostly mine is near the ball of my foot and toes. Maybe I should ask my allergist or make an appointment with a dermatologist. Don't see my primary doctor till early Jan though.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I have a similar problem affecting many body areas. I literally scream as I feel I have been bitten. My rheumy put me on 100 mg of GABAPENTIN at bedtime, problem almost completelt resolved. Good luck.....

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 this is going to sound crazy, but I get the same thing and I get antifungal foot spray and it goes away in a few days. I just spray my feet 2 times a day. Once in the morning and once again before bed. Re: [ ] burning itchy skin In a message dated 11/17/2008 10:02:21 A.M.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Thanks R. I take 600mg Gabapentin each night so may ask my rheum if I can take one more during the day. My husband thinks the problem is neurological anyway. Debbie L > >> > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 and group; Yes, Mine is the same way. I bet it works for me too lol. hugs clora *888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888: > > I know for me it works every time I get it. Enbrel is notorous for causing fungal infections. It first started on my feet then i noticed the little bumps on my hands and went to the doc and he told me it was a fungal infection. I got sick of the burning itchy feeling so started using the spray from lotrimin and it worked. > > jennifer > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
