My itching feet

My thick discolored toenails

For some time now I have been experiencing some itching under my feet. The itching can even occur when I am sleeping or even when walking. What can I do?

Jerome (by SMS)

Many situations can lead to itchy feet, including exposure to moisture, dry environments that lead to dry skin irritants, as well as infectious bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi. Although itchy feet are not usually a cause for concern, they can indicate an underlying skin condition or even a deeper internal disease such as diabetes, diseases of the kidney, gall bladder among others. If the use of the regular antifungal creams and powder does not give you relief, you may need to see a doctor for some routine blood and urine examinations.
