Hi Sarak
I dont have itchy feet but a few weeks ago I had extremely itchy chest. I called my OB and she told me to use a special wash (not soap) and paw paw ointment which eventually helped a lot... and it has gone now... BUT the reason I wanted to post for you is my OB checked it all out at my last appt and told me to call her if at any time I had a lot of itching on my hands or feet.... as this would be something she would want to look at.. so it may be worth a call to your care provider to make sure it is nothing and get their advice?? Not trying to alarm you and prob it is just hormonal or something but given she specifically mentioned hands and feet thought I'd pass it on...
Hope it isnt too bad, my itching nearly drove me mad!!!

Hi sarak,

I have read in a book (can't remember which one) that if you have insanely itchy feet or palms that you should contact your care provider. I can't remember anything else about it though... actually I think it had something to do with a salt build up?!?

Good luck with it and let us know how you go
