Foot rash problem

My name is Jordan, I am a fifteen year old male.  I just recently started using night time foot repair cream.  After about a month of nightly use, my toes developed bumps.  A few days later the bumps got itchy and tingly.  Every time I applied the cream, the bumps flourished with their pain and itchy-ness.  I stopped using the cream and it has now been about two weeks.  The bumps are still there and they still itch.  Will this go away?  What is it?  What can I do to reduce the itchy-ness?

Thank you,
Jordan

Hello,
It can be due to contact dermatitis to the cream. Wear shoes that fit properly and keep feet as dry as possible. Change socks everyday and apply some calamine lotion on the soles. For the itching you can take some antihistaminic like Benadryl or Claritin. If the symptoms persist then topical steroids may be needed for which I suggest you to consult a dermatologist.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing

it sounds like you've experienced some sort of allergic reaction to it. You can take some OTC benadryl but it may make you sleepy.

Give your doctor a call or have your parents do it to be sure that taking an allergy medication is safe/advised.

Since the bumps took a month to show up, give them just as long to go away.
