Anybody awake...DD (7) crying and unable to sleep due to dreadfully itchy feet

[Pocketmonster]

Can anybody suggest something to help, DD - 7 - has had really itchy feet (on the tops at the front) since she went to bed. I have tried cold water, moisturiser, anti histamine (which seemed to work for a couple of hours) but she is awake again and in tears because of the continual itchying.

Does anybody have any suggestions about what it could be and how to relieve it for her?

Thanks in advance.

it's eurax - you can buy it over the counter.

I had this last night! It was around midnight, we'd gone to bed a few minutes before and I had the most intense burning itching in my feet and my lower legs.

Absolute agony - I was contemplating A&E, but thinking 'what would they do??', all the while scratching myself red raw.

It did pass after around 40 minutes and a generous slick of sudocream.

Hi @pocketmonster

How did your little one get along in the end? My DD has had this for 2 weeks now. We're waiting for the GP appointment but still got days to go...

@tgwjslo this thread was started nearly 10 years ago so I would imagine the OP’s little one is probably fine now!
