What Causes Numbness And Itching In The Feet?

am from the field 1 hour ago and my feet were kind of numb due to the frozen ground. Am now in the house with a strange feeling of scratching the underside of my both feet. What could be the problem and how can I alleviate the feeling once and for all? It s so irritating
