The past few weeks our 2 yr old daughter has been rubbing her feet on the carpet and saying her feet are itchy. Whe I looked at them they looked a little red and blotchy BUT it was only on her feet and she doesn't go out much, so I figured it was the dry air in the house. I tried putting an oatmeal baby body cream on her feet, but then a few days ago I noticed that she had a raw looking big toe. It looked like the skin had started to peal away and I thought it was just from the rubbing on the carpet. I have an antibiotic ointment she had for something else last year and have tried putting that on it with a bandaid. Although that seemed to work, she is still rubbing her feet on the carpet! Any suggesstions? Well, since she stays in most days (with no scks on) and we have wall-to-wall carpet (we rent), I'm leaning towards maybe needing our carpets cleaned. Just waiting for nicer day and will aks my friend with carpet steamer to come by. As for the diabetic thought - I will get her checked as my dad-in-law is diabetic (needles daily) and my hubby is hypoglycemic. Thanks!
Answer
there are acids at the bottom of our feet every one has it. it may feel external to her but it is really internal. what you should do is give her a foot rub to get the acids out of that one spot. the acids are toxins but are driven to the feet because we stand on them all the time, also what you could do is stop at a drug store like wallgreens or cvs and they have these pads that remove the toxins they are safe and natural and was invented in ancient china. their called detox foot pads. hope i helped :] xoxo, juliaaaa
