Painfully itchy feet

Posted , 1 user is following.

It has been for a couple of years now, that every year around the same time, my feet and ankles become a little swollen and very itchy, it's killing me, I can't sleep well, because of the pain I don't have any appetite, I can't even walk properly. I've looked everywhere for symptoms what are same that mine on the internet but never found an answer.. i've went to the hospital and even the doctors couldn't diagnose it, please if you know the reason why this is happening please comment

    That sounds awful sad anyway I had a fungus on my feet for years and didn't know it apparently. From what I know fungus thrives in wet, warm environments. Also I found out that I had a recent increase in bread and certain fungus thrive on that too! Or maybe an allergic reaction. You said certain times of year maybe your allergic to something you don't know about and during certain seasons or times of year your immune system gets a bit low from already fighting other allergens (like it being spring and all the pollen in the air) so the allergic reaction creeps up on you. Something similar happened to me as a young girl, we thought it was tomato. Only it happened on my hands not my feet. It went away as an adult so I never figured it out. In the meantime maybe use a cold compress to alleviate some pain/itch and start with your primary care doctor. Perhaps you need a specialist. Best wishes hun.

      Thank you for replying, I'll be doing allergy testing hopefully I'll find what that causing me this problem, I've been thinking it's probably because of the seasons changing so this might be because of the dust in the air ? And it might be partly my fault because I can't help it, I hate putting anything on my feet so when I'm at home I'm most of the time barefoot haha
