A member asked:
Is it normal for my feet to feel itchy when walking in the cold?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: This could happen. There is an interplay between the feet being cold and then the body trying to warm itself up...So the vasoconstriction and vasodilatory interplay often produce that itchy feeling you describe....

Yes: The cold will constrict the blood vessels and often cause a pain or itching sensation.
