Arch: Swelling in the arch of the foot near the heal would commonly be a plantar fasciitis. The swelling is from a loose connection between your plant fascia and calcaneal bone. I would think you would have some pain too.

Foot swelling : An itch is a form of pain. It may be that you have plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of foot pain in adults. It can be from flat feet, excessive running, poor footwear, prolonged standing on a hard surface. You need to be seen by a doctor in person, there are other possibilities
