Currently, I have it on my feet-- it spread from my toes (which initially from the itch I thought it was the woeful athlete's foot) all the way to my ankles. When it started on my fingers, I ran to the doctor. Since it's mainly on my feet, I've gotten a small tub that I've filled with that oatmeal bath stuff and it does sooth the itch a lot.
I'll also start with the baby oil in the bathroom suggestion! I used to put a little on before i put my clothes on, but then I found sometimes it stained my clothes, so I had to lay naked in bed for 10-15 minutes till the oil dried... which, I rarely have the patience for.
As for your comment about saltwater-- AHAH! So that's what started it! It began mid-July and aggravaed through till now, but it started after 3 months of constantly wearing sneakers soaked in saltwater! Ah hah!
