Accepted Answer

Possible fungus: It is possible that you have a patch of fungal or yeast infection.  Try an over the counter yeast cream such as is used for athlete's foot and see if that helps.

Question 2

i was bitten by a yellow fly, bottom of foot, it itches, is hard and red.  i'm on immunosuppressants for ra/fibro. could my meds prevent healing?

Accepted Answer

Observe: Observe for spreading redness, increased pain or tenderness, or swelling of the foot. These symptoms,if they develop, should be promptly seen by your physician for evaluation and treatment as infection of the bite would then be likely. In view of being somewhat immunocompromised, this is most important.

Question 3

for six years ive been getting a blistery rash on finger and knee. starts out as pain and itching, then a day or so later a bubbly rash appears. it looks like tapioca pudding. it happens at random. now it just started to appear on the sole of foot?

Accepted Answer

: Blisters can be caused by many skin and systemic disorders, and location may pinpoint the diagnosis. For small areas, does it follows a specific skin pattern called dermatome? It could be shingles. Grouped, painful, and one is sexually active? Herpes simplex. Hands/Feet? Eczema, friction/sucking blisters, erythema multiforme, epidermolysis bullosa simplex, fungal infection.

Question 4

bottom of foot is itching deep inside. like i can't reach it deep. any thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Itching feet: Itching at the bottom of the knee could be just from dry feet. See the bottom of your feet or you may have some contact from your socks or shoes. Are you taking any meds? Or do you have athletes feet? See your Dr please.

Question 5

sciatica? sharp pains in back of thigh, side of thigh sometimes in front, also in calf and bottom of foot, not all at the same time but different days

Accepted Answer

Have your Dr. refer: you to an osteopathic physiotherapist in the UK to evaluate this further. There are a few excellent schools/ clinics asssociated with the schools of osteopathy that provide excellent care, evaluation and treatment to see what the underlying problem is, and treat it. Sciatica is not a fun diagnosis, and one in which can be managed successfully.

Question 6

bottom if foot itches all the time only right one?

Accepted Answer

Itching: I suggest you have your family doctor do a fungal culture on it first. If it is negative try an over the counter cortisone cream for a week. If it resolves then you are dealing with some form of a dermatitis.If the culture is positive .Your doctor will prescribe an anti fungal medication to resolve it. If neither of these approaches resolves it.Then a biopsy  is recommended.

Question 7

the bottom of my feet feel burns, tingles and itches. whats happening?

Accepted Answer

See details: In the absence of a skin rash, a peripheral neuropathy is a major possibility.

Question 8

often the bottom of my feet is itchy i have tried creams but it just itches more. any ideas?

Accepted Answer

: If the skin is normal (no redness, no rash or scaly or crack, etc.), you can try lidocaine 4% cream or ointment as needed for controlling itching for a day or two. If the skin does not look normal, you should see a doctor, a dermatologist is preferred, but you can still use lidocaine cream +/- allegra (OTC) for itching in the meantime.

Question 9

i have a red ichy hard spot on the bottom of my right foot, and my left is red and itches, i have no idea what they are but i can barely stand. ?

Accepted Answer

Without seeing: It, I would recommend you don't scratch it and apply antifungal medication. If we could see a pic I could comment further.

Question 10
