Upward creep...

It's not the feet so much anymore: it's the shins!
My shins have red, bubbly patches and are quite itchy at times. My feet, except around the ankle bones, are pretty much clear!
Since there has been some spring sunshine, and it's occasionally warm enough to sit outside, I have been trying to sun my shins. Sure hope real spring comes soon, as that will make it much easier to get that natural light on them.
In the meantime, I apply the Dovobet in the daytime and the salacylic + vaseline at night, and touch up with plain vaseline when the itch gets too bad.
Strangely enough, several years before my feet became a problem, my shins were often itchy, but any problems were completely invisible.
