The Sole of my Foot sloughs and peels big thick pieces of skin...What can heal this???

For two years now..the bottom of my Right foot sloughs and peels big thick pieces of skin..making the skin tender and sore beneath..When foot gets moist or wet..it turns milky white in color as if it sucked up the water like a sponge. Then about 45 minutes later it turns rock hard...and i find it burns as if on fire and itches intensely at times..the areas where skin sloughed deep feel like when you have a hangnail ripped off...but X10!!! I have to limp at times b/c it hurts to walk on it.

Four podiatrists and Three dermatologists have thrown their hands up...with no clue what this is. A punch biopsy..test of a 4mm deep piece of skin revealed nothing. I've tried antibiotics antifungals, streriod creams, tea tree oil..with no success..

Help!!!! I need some ideas...my job as a nurse requires me to be on my feet 8hours..all the more reason to correct this.. Thanks in advance for any suggestions..

it might be a mix of athlete's foot and plantar warts?

My feet peel if I wear sandals, because the skin gets so dry and the friction makes them peel.

I use Vaseline and put socks on at night. I have even done that in the daytime when I wore socks with tennis shoes.

I know it hurts like crazy to get it peeled. Do not pull that skin, just make yourself stop or it will never ever heal.

i have had a similar experiance. my skin peels on the bottoms of my feet and it hurts so bad to walk on it and etc. i didnt go to the doctor for it but i asked my mother who is a nurse and she said she isnt sure either. so i started cleaning with peroxide and that was terrible it hurt so bad. so i started just putting lotion on all the time and i got a pumace stone and i would scrub my feet with a moisturizing body wash once every other day after a shower or soaking my feet. that and not touching it. and it got better. but it hasnt gone away. do you live in florida? i do and it started around the time i moved down here.

well, go to walmart or walgreens

they should have some intensive foot cream you can get
