rash on top of foot

camino de Frances 2017
Just wondering what might be causing a rash on top of my foot. Is it the socks? The shoes? Or thin skin due to get older? Anyone else get that and are there suggested ways to handle it. Or shall I ignore it and it will go away on its own like so many other rashes?
 
St James' Way - Self-guided 4-7 day Walking Packages, Reading to Southampton, 110 kms
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
I really do not know? However, I can tell you we started getting a rash on the upper foot that turned out that we were not sufficiently rinsing our socks out. We made sure there was no soap left in the socks, used a bit of betamethazone on the rash for a few days and all was well. Could be a heat rash? If it does not go away maybe check with pharmacist or doctor.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Thanks. I see there is a lot of information on it. Haven't started walking the Camino yet but both my husband and I go a rash in our practice walk yesterday. We also got it walking in the past.
 
How do I end this thread. I have enough info.
