Hello dear
I understand your concern
Itchiness on the foot could be due to fungal infection, irritant dermatitis, dry skin, excessive sweating, improper hygiene, allergic reaction.
Detailed examination by the dermatologist will help in the diagnosis.
Take proper prescribed drug:
Tablet levocterizine at the bed time
Local application of clotrimazole
Maintain proper hygiene and avoid excessive sweating.
Soak leg in the warm water.
Hope this may help you
