Has anyone ever hypothesized what it might be if it isn’t allergies? For example, is it better or worse if you have socks on? Is it perhaps the pressure against the skin? Or perhaps maybe the lack of oxygen flow against the skin? If you wear sandals do you just get the problem where the straps were on your skin? Is it your entire foot (sides and bottom)? Does it matter what the shoe is made from or do all shoes cause this? What about an all-cotton shoe? If you wear tight clothing that isn’t breathable and you sweat, do you get the same skin problems that you see on your feet?
Q: Has anyone ever hypothesized what it might be if it isn’t allergies?
A: Yes. But, when you get right down to it, when your immune system attacks you (asthma, crohn’s disease, eczema, etc.), that is an allergy.
Q: For example, is it better or worse if you have socks on?
A: Socks without shoes are ok, shoes without socks are suicide.
Q: Is it perhaps the pressure against the skin?
A: Interesting idea - but, probably not, as I imagine my posterior experiences much more pressure, as I am on the computer all day.
Q: Or perhaps maybe the lack of oxygen flow against the skin?
A: Same answer as above, I guess.
Q: If you wear sandals do you just get the problem where the straps were on your skin?
A: Yes.
Q: Is it your entire foot (sides and bottom)?
A: Yes.
Q: Does it matter what the shoe is made from or do all shoes cause this?
A: Every one that I have tried, same problem.
Q: What about an all-cotton shoe?
A: Never tried that.
Q: If you wear tight clothing that isn’t breathable and you sweat, do you get the same skin problems that you see on your feet?
A: I don’t do that, and don’t care to try.
Man, that was like a medical interview, LOL!
