Itchy Feet, White Big Toe, Red Bump On Foot

My feet are very itchy along the top of the toe area. My big toe is white along the base (like when you bend hard plastic) but that is not on my other toes. It itches ever so often but it isn t athlete s foot because my skin is not flaky at all. The other foot has a red bump on it like something bit me, and it itches ever so often also. It is winter here and my feet are always cold while at work when I wear my shoes, I highly doubt I am sweating.

Hello,
Thanks for the query.

you might be suffering from a fungal infection.

It is called as tinea pedis.

Treatment with oral and topical anti fungals will give you a good result.

Try to keep your foot dry, for better and faster relief.

Please meet a dermatologist and discuss regarding this.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
