Wood allergy Is possible

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
There is a possibility of wood allergy.
I treat such cases with topical steroid cream like fluticasone to be applied twice a day for 7 day.
Try to wear slippers all the time when you are walking on floor.
If possible upload a photograph of the involved area.
You can even mail me photographs on YYYY@YYYY with subject as ATTN Dr Rahul Kumar.
This will help me in giving a closer diagnosis.
Thank you.
