What Could Be The Reason For Itching In The Foot?
Hello. I have been getting a random itchy place on both of my feet in generally the same spot and it breaks out into little bumps. It ll do this off and on and I don t know if it s a slight reaction to something or my skin being sensitive. Could you please help? Thank you.

Hello,
As per your case history of itching on feet, my treatment advice is -
1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild topical steroid cream like Fusiderm-B cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetirizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
If the problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Harshit Bhachech
