Hard to say: I'm sorry to hear about your predicament. Even though you don't have insurance, there are urgent care clinics that could see you! i had a patient with a similar history as you. There was a rash on the affected skin - like tiny blisters under the skin: her condition was disyhdrotic eczema, and it was relieved with prescription steroid cream, and keeping the feet dry.

May be nerve issue: Intense itching can sometimes indicate nerve or blood vessel injury. First make sure shoes are long enough and tight enough across arch to keep middle toe from hitting end of shoe when you walk or run. You might also try a metatarsal pad which sightly elevates and spreads apart the metatarsals and takes pressure off nerves and blood vessels in ball of foot area.
