HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The fact that the itching is confined to the feet implies that it is likely related to something coming into contact with the feet such as lotion, cream, socks, shoes.
You may want to determine if any of these would likely cause your reaction.
The use of an oral anti histamine and mild topical steroid to the area would help the itching.
I hope this helps

It is likely that you are allergic to something coming into contact with your feet such as creams or the material in your socks or shoes.
You may want to assess for any changes and consider using hypoallergic products There are less likely to cause an allergic response.
It is not likely related to the depo provera.
