My son has white bumps on the bottom of his feet. they are very itchy and he is scratching himself raw. what is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Needs evaluation: itchiness suggests allergic reaction, and the most itchy would be a reaction to scabies, which can be quite prominent in young kids. Alternatively would be a contact allergy to a chemical in his shoes or dyshydrotic eczema. Until he can be seen, cool compresses and an oral antihistamine like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) may calm the itch
