Mine is triggered by stress, then it flares up around my belly button, and when it warm. Then there are several areas where it flares up when it's warm. I've learned some tricks to keep it under control mostly, like wearing a long sleeved cardigan in hot weather prevents a flare up on the inside of my elbow.
Two years ago, at the end of summer, I suddenly got a flare up on the palms of my hands and a couple of fingers on my right hand. It was very itchy and flaky and took months to clear. Last summer it flared up on the top of my right hand and my left middle finger. It slowly cleared when I started to drink a bottle of Yakult each day.
The Yakult has helped in general, flare ups aren't as bad and usually don't itch, so it heals a lot quicker.
I think the patch on the sole of my foot is because I got something in my shoe when walking the dog yesterday morning. I took it out when I got home, but that was too late. Tea tree oils work well (although it stinks) for the soles of my feet for some reason. Last night I eventually put a blister patch on it so I wouldn't rub of scratch it in my sleep, it did help with the itching. Today, I'm going home earlier than normal so I can apply the oil before work and have time to let it soak into my skin.
