Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the information.

The description you provided fits into a allergic reaction in the feet. Such reaction could be due to some allergen you came in contact while walking or in the footwear.

I suggest you to take an antihistaminic like tab Benadryl or tab cetrizine one in the night for three days. This will surely help you get rid of the problem.

Wish you good health.
