biggrin.gif The underside of the joint on the right foot itches almost constantly
no amount of scratching relieves this.I have no fungus, and no real pain
anywhere else on tis foot.
Also the left foot big toe tingles most of the time, more at night than any other time. That can be relieved somewhat by spreading the big toe away from the second toe. This problem seams to get worse as I get older. I am 67 years old biggrin.gif
DOCTOR DNK
You may have the beginnings of a fungal infection which can often appear like dry skin. also, dry skin can be reason to produce itching to the foot. I would suggest that you try using a moisturizing cream to see if that reduces the itching. Also, you should make an appointment with a podiatrist to rule out a fungal infection as well as evaluate why you are receiving the tingling and perhaps numbness to your toes.
