YES!  It is very annoying.  I have found that Aveeno lotion is the best lotion for my skin and feet to help soothe these symptoms.  I also treat myself to a pedicure every 3 weeks to keep my feet cared for and it is well worth the money and time. Unfortunately, have only found temporary relief for the pain.I usually wear moccasins with the sheeps wool lining for comfort. Good Luck!
