hypersensitivity to water on feet

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Has anyone ever come across this?

About 2 months ago Kayla(12 years) started screaming every time she went in the

shower that the water hurt her feet. This has continued. Her feet don't have any

sores or marks on them. Prior to this she has never been hypersensitive on her

feet.

I have tried all kinds of things. I have even had her stand at the back of the

tub to get her feet used to the temperature of the tub. Than slowly splayed the

water on her feet. But, every time I do this she screams that the water is

hurting her feet.

We use a hose to take a shower, so I have adjusted the temperature and strength

of the water as well. If it even touches her toes she screams. However, the

water temperature is fine and even cold to her for the rest of her body.

This started about the same time she began her period. Which has also been very

unusual for the first time and she had it going on for over a month. We have

been to two doctors about it. But, thankfully it has quit.

Could her starting a period have started a reaction to have hypersensitivity to

water on the feet. I put lotion on them but it doesn't bother them. I am going

to try using a spray bottle on them next to see if she has a reaction.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks
