Comment:
Occasionally my palms and bottom of my feet start to itch/tingle and then they start peeling badly! I have seen a lot of doctors and all medications prescribed, including this gel have had little to no effect. My hands aren't peeling as bad but now have extremely sore/sensitive areas. My feet haven't changed at all - itching, burning and peeling. I would love to have a cure!!!

Comment:
Prescribed 3 years ago for treatment of palmoplantar pustulosis on various areas of my feet (which also now appears in small areas on my hands from time to time, though not as bad as on my feet). First I apply salicylic acid 10% in soft white parrafin for a few hours - to soften up the skin - then the clobetasol propionate 0.05% ointment overnight.
