The heal of my wife's feet are slightly swollen and itch? staph infection?

It : It does not sound like a staph infection but more like a fungal infection. She may be dealing with athlete's foot aka tinea pedis. She should try an over the counter anti-fungal foot cream. If there is no relief she should see her doctor.
