Inner "itch" in feet and hands

I have uncontrollable inner itching in both of my feet whenever I am in extremely stressful situations or when I'm experiencing high anxiety.  What can possibly be the cause of this. I am a type 2 diabetic.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Anxiety and panic attacks can cause itch. However since you are a diabetic, rule out fungal infection, and any dermatitis, that could be causing the itch. Scrapings from your feet should be tested for fungal infection.
Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Do consult your doctor. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
