I have an itchy rash on top of my foot for past few months. Initially I thought it was poison ivy but when it didn't go away, I researched on the net and decided maybe it was athlete's foot. I tried soaking my foot in a bleach and water solution every 3-4 days. Did not help. I then tried wiping turpentine on the rash twice a day after reading it was effective for fungal conditions. Unfortunately, the turpentine made the rash spread to the bottom of my foot! Finally I showed it to a friend who said it looked like psoriasis to him. I applied a coal tar formula from the pharmacy yesterday and the rash is disappearing in a few hours.
