Extreme Foot Itching
by kev73, Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM
3 to 4 times a year and to what stimuli I can't figure out both of my feet become inflamed and itch horribly. Most of the time my entire foot, top, bottom, instep, and even my ankles start itching at once. There is no rash, no bumps, just intense itching. The onset of a bout is sudden and can last a couple days to several days. Hot water seems to intensify the itching. No matter how much I scratch the itch is just as intense as when I started. Makes it almost impossible to sleep any length of time as the itch is so intense it's almost impossible to stop. Any ideas? My Family Physician just prescribed hydrocordisone but that brought zero relief and the itching ran it's normal course.

So maybe Let me know if you get any answers
Does the itch occur in any specific season, as in summers or rain? have you checked if it is because of a specific shoe or socks that you might be using?
It seems to be some kind of allergic reaction. You can try OTC anti-histamines or anti-allergics to give you some temporary relief. An allergy specialist can guide you further as to which therapy you may take and what tests can be done to figure out the allergan.
Let us know if you may have any more questions.
Good luck.
