Serious Problems That Sore Feet Can Indicate

Itchy Feet

Itchy, scaly skin on the feet can be caused by a variety of conditions, from athlete’s foot, a common fungal infection, to eczema, a chronic inflammatory skin disorder. Allergic contact dermatitis, which is an allergic reaction to chemicals or skin care products, can occur due to skin sensitivities to laundry detergent or even new shoes. An allergic reaction can also cause redness and dry patches on the feet. Psoriasis can be another health concern related to itchy feet, as it not only causes itchiness but can cause the skin to become thick and pimple-like due to an overaction from the immune system. Other underlying health conditions that can cause itchy feet include atopic dermatitis, juvenile plantar dermatosis, scars, bug bites, or simply dry skin. Many of these disorders, as well as just itchy feet in general, can be treated with a medicated cream that can help alleviate the itch along with other symptoms.
