Members responded to someone experiencing itchy rashes on their legs and feet by sharing a variety of topical solutions that have provided relief, including aqueous emulsion cream, Gold Bond lotion, antihistamine cream, cooling sprays, and prescription-strength Triamcinolone Acetonide cream. Several members emphasized the importance of keeping blood sugar under control and applying moisturizer daily, with many noting that itching tends to worsen at night or during winter months. A recurring theme was the value of consulting a doctor or podiatrist for persistent symptoms, as prescription options may offer stronger relief than over-the-counter products alone.

Yes, Doctor prescribe it to me. It help especially during winter months.
Another one you could try over the counter is SARNA no prescription needed.
