I wonder if Vicks VapoRub would help. I use Vicks for sore muscles, headaches, as a moisturizer, itch relief, sleep aid and for other ailments. Hopefully it will help you at least somewhat. Take care.

3. **Moisturizing**: After cleaning and drying your feet, apply a gentle moisturizer. Look for lotions containing urea or salicylic acid, designed for psoriasis.
4. **Topical Corticosteroids**: These are often the first line of treatment. Use strong corticosteroid creams or gels as directed by your healthcare provider.
5. **Phototherapy**: Light therapy, involving exposure to specific types of light, can be beneficial.

Always consult with a healthcare professional like a podiatrist or dermatologist to tailor the treatment to your needs.
