Hi all
Just wondering if anyone can tell me what this is on my wife's foot, we have been to our GP but just said its a heat related condition and gave lanacane into itch cream,



My wife is a fitness instructor and has suffered with this for many years with no one giving a proper anwser or treatment, the redness is very painful to the touch also very itchy so she cannot win as when she does scratch when it is unbearable she is then in a lot of pain,



this condition is not there all of the time but only flares up when the weather is hot or when we on holidays to a hot counrty,



I hope someone can shine a light on this and also suggest a treatment to get rid of once and for all?



Thank you for reading and best regards
