i haven't been on this site or the internet for two weeks know. i had diebetic sores on my feet they were painful and itchy. i scratch the sores open witch made the va nurse mad. they give me a pill for itch i had to stop taking it bad side affect. i had a cream that i had for itch i couldn't figure out why didn't work it had expired two years ago. the nurse thow it away and got the doctor to write the presciption again for it. it works great it helps the itch i have to put it on my legs and feet twice a day. my sores are almost gone know. they had them wrap up for two weeks so i wouldn't scratch them open again the nurse didn't like the looks of them when they got scabs again because they were red. she came out twice a week to my home to look at them and wrap them up again. my parents are coming to visit on june 14th and stay with me for awahile so i won't be on very much well they are hear.

Oh take good care of your feet, those sores are nothing to mess with, too easy to lose a foot. I know the itch can drive you mad. I have statis near my ankles like old people get from poor circulation, the skin is thin as the top layer hardens, then cracks up like an old dry creek bed. It gets really itchy when it does that, but I'm not allowed to scratch it either. I'm glad you got some new cream and your sores are healing up. Take good care of you! And enjoy your parents visit next month.

I am diabetic for 40 yrs never had sores on my feet but have had them on my legs. They can get really bad if not taken care of. And yes they itched really bad to and the cream did help that. Hope your doing better on the sores and they have healed up now.
