Itchy

Today I was walking around the mall and the bottoms of my feet started itching like crazy. The severity of it was so bad that I had to leave. They stopped itching so intensely when I got home, but it still happens on and off a little bit. It seems to help to get off my feet and elevate them a bit. Does anyone know why this happens or any other remedies?

Mai,
are you in treatment? If so what chemo are you on?
Could be a side effect that will soon go away. I had itchy skin the doxil, and soaked in epsom salt and cold water. Really did help. I also used a mild steroid cream that helped a bit. Some people use benedryl for itch. It just makes me sleepy.
Hope that helps,
