Our skin is very complex and serves many purposes. Itchiness is something that everyone experiences on a regular basis, yet if the itchiness on your feet persistent with additional pain and burning, it could be one of the signs of a fungal infection[1] like athlete’s foot (tinea pedis).

Treating itchy skin

It can be difficult to know how to treat itchy skin of the feet and whether or not it is something that will just go away naturally. Your local pharmacy is a great place to go and get expert advice.

Itchy skin should not be scratched

If your skin is affected by a common fungal infection such as athlete’s foot, it can be very tempting to scratch the affected area, however this can make things worse. If you do continually scratch, your skin may turn red and become cracked. To treat tinea pedis/athlete’s foot you should apply a product that is specifically designed to combat the infection and soothe associated symptoms such as itchy skin, and you should also resist the urge to scratch. Resisting the urge to scratch the itchy skin whilst the antifungal is applied will also mean the product will stay on the skin undisturbed, allowing it to take effect
