itchy sore feet

by Tracey
(Muskegon, Michigan)

I have recently been experiencing severe itching on the bottom of my feet followed by sharp stabbing pain in the bottom of the feet. It is an itch that I can't get rid of by scratching no matter how much I scratch! Then the sharp stabbing pain follows for a few minutes or hours. It varies.

Hi Tracey,

Does the skin appear abnormal at all, like a rash? If not the sensation you are experiencing may have a neurological origin.
You could certainly wait a few weeks and see if it goes away, if not you should see a podiatrist.

Itchy burning foot
by: Bonnie

I too have this issue but it only happens if I take certain mrications like a muscle relaxer or any SSRI drugs for depression. The itch/red hot poker feeling lasts about 1/2 an hour but gas a residual itchy feeling for longer. There must be an answer for this, help!!!

burning, itchy feet
by: Boopsie

I had this and it was caused from Neuropathy. The Rx's did not help so I tried Nerv-Fix a homeopathic medicine made from herbs and now I am relieved. It is worth a try.

Itchy feet
by: Dee

Oh my gosh, my feet have been doing the same thing. It was just in the morning, now it is really bad at night! I can not releive the itch with any amount of scratching!! It does not affect me during the middle of the day! There is no rash, no dry skin, no outter change in appearance at all! What could this be?!
