Does Herniated Disk Cause Itching On Sole Of The Feet?

The soles of my beet have been itching for about a month. They did it back in April or May. I also have been having a sore lower back and some crawly feelings on my heals. I have some bulging and herniated disk showing on MRIs in 2009. Could this be causing my feet to itch?

Hello!


Welcome on Healthcaremagic!


It is less likely that your symptoms are related to the bulging disc. Anyway, I would like to know if you have any skin changes in the feet. What is your past medical history? Do you suffer from diabetes?Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your GP for a physical exam and some tests:- complete blood count- blood electrolytes- uric acid plasma levels- vitamin B12 plasma levels- a nerve conduction study for peripheral neuropathy. In case of skin changes, consulting with a dermatologist would help exclude a possible allergic reaction or a fungal infection.

Hope you will find this information helpful!
Best regards!
