How to stop chronic itching on bottom of feet?

My friend has this constant itching on the bottom of her feet that feels like it is itching beneath the skin. It happens every single day, especially at night, for the many years now. From appearance, it seems like there is nothing wrong her feet. She has no blisters, no peeling skin, or discoloration. She tried all kinds of rememdies and over the counter medications for anti-itching but the itch always comes the next day. I don't think it's from anything that she ate because it happens everyday. I also don't think its the type of shoes she wears because she is a stay at home mom who rarely goes out. Does anyone know if there is a name for this symptom or what else could be causing it?

How to stop chronic itching on bottom of feet?
firstly- tell her to go to her dr!!!





it sounds to me that she probably has a fungul infection. Try somthing like lamisil cream once a day for 2 weeks or canestan cream 3 times a day for 2 weeks.


use an antifungal powder in her shoes.


all these items are avalible from your chemist/drug store





most itchiness of feet is caused by fungal infections, which can show little other symptoms.





as another answerer said- it also could also be psychological, but perhaps not. itchiness is a common symptom of obsessive compulsive disorder...
Reply:Good question - that could be me that you are talking about. I've had it for years and have come to terms with the fact that it might be psychological. You have described it perfectly, almost like you suffer from it. My feet look, feel, and smell normal, and no one would suspect that I have such intense itching on the inside. The only way to get rid of it is to rub them violently on a coarse rug or even cement and then the relief comes like an orgasm! Really weird, huh? I have noticed a pattern over the years, and the itching is at its worst when I'm feeling anxiety, and always at night. I told a Dr. once and he looked at my feet, laughed, and said that I had dry skin. None of my family has "caught" it either. I had a crazy thought once after learning how the nerves in our feet are connected to other nerves in the rest of our bodies, or something like that - that maybe by stimulating those nerves in the feet, I am somehow stimulating or ????? nerves in another part of my body that are deficient somehow. Funny to hear that I am not alone in this weirdness!





Love to know if you ever find out why...................
