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.
