What are some remedies for diabetic foot itch?

Daily cleansing and moisturizing of feet help diminish skin itchiness experienced by some diabetics, according to the Cleveland Clinic. In the case of a fungal infection such as athlete's foot, a doctor may need to prescribe topical or oral medication.

Diabetics are prone to dry skin on the feet because the nerves in their legs and feet do not always receive commands from the brain to sweat. To compensate, diabetics should wash their feet daily with warm water and mild soap, dry their feet thoroughly, and apply a doctor-recommended moisturizer to their feet, except between the toes, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
