Question 2

pimple like bump on side of foot that are itchy. bumpy but itches like a mosquito bite. what is this?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say without: seeing it. It could be a contact rash to something. Is it only on one foot? Any new creams, lotions, shoes? Do you have the rash anywhere else? I would recommend that you have it seen by your primary care doctor or a dermatologist, so that it can be diagnosed properly. Or if you are signed up for HealthTap Prime, you may be able to consult with one of us that way and send a photo.

Accepted Answer

: If the skin is red and tender all the way to your ankle, or if there is a tender red streak, you may have a secondary infection. Best to see a doctor. (If pain is severe and/or you have fever, get seen within a day or so.)

Question 8

Sweating, fungus: It could be only sweaty feet or it could be the start of athletes foot or a case of eczema. If there is no visible rash, wear cotton socks and try ab sorbent foot powder labelled af for antifungal.

Question 9

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 10

my right foot feels very dry, gets really hot at night and itches.?

Accepted Answer

Is it dry?: If it is that would explain the itching. Does it get hot or just feel hot? There is a difference. You may have a nerve problem if the temp is not really hot but just feels hot, similiarly if it itches and there is no dryness....
