What may cause itchy feet

So what causes itchy feet? Why do those feet itch so darn much? And why can't you get rid of that persistent itching on the sole of your foot? If you are anything like me, you have tried the basics; the finger, the pen, rubbing your insanely itchy foot against the other, stamping it against the ground, smacking it against a table. But to no avail, nothing seems to work in stopping that itching on your foot.

Some of you may have gotten the urge at work and pulled out the paper clip, bending it and twisting it into a finely honed itching device, but it does not work either. And that itching on your foot is enough to drive the portrait of sanity over the edge. I know that there have been a few times that I have brought myself nearly to tears over the itching foot and more time than I am willing to admit that the incessant scratching has come close to drawing blood. So where does it come from and what can you do to fix it?

Your feet itch from a variety of reason and factors. Sometimes they get raw from the abrasion caused by your shoes, or by poorly fitting socks. Occasionally your feet sweat and the moisture causes your feet to itch, and from time to time they are simply too dirty and the tiny particles that build up make them uncomfortable. Once you have ruled out moisture and dead skin as the cause of itchy feet you can move on the genuine medical conditions that may cause itchy feet.

Eczema and dermatitis are two conditions that cause excessive dry skin and can lead to itchy dry feet. A trip to the physician should yield some cream or an ointment to help cure the sanity-shattering itchy feet. But sometimes dry skin is something more and only a physician should treat it. Athlete's feet is a common fungal condition that develops between the toes and results in itchy feet. There are a variety of treatments available over the counter, but your physician will be able to prescribe a treatment proven to knock out the bacteria and defeat itchy feet.
