chronic itching foot 12 years after hip replacement

chronic itching foot 12 years after hip replacement

I have chronic bursitis after hip replacement 12 years ago.  I have itchy arch of my foot periodically and now especially when I am having bursitis again.  I wonder if they are related.

Hi there!

The itchiness is unlikely to be related to the bursitis. Itching also known as pruritis, is a symptom of a wide variety of mild to serious conditions. It can result from dry skin, infection, inflammation, allergy, insect bites, fungal infection, dermatitis, allergies, hives, scabies or liver diseases causing jaundice; while only a few of these respond to anti-pruritic creams. I would suggest you to visit a dermatologist for an evaluation and appropriate treatment.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
