Could The Itching In Feet Be The Result Of Depo Pevara?
I'm experincing very itchy feet, last week i noticed some red itchy marks all over my legs and feet so i took an oatmeal bath and the itchying was realived so since i thought it was dry skin ive been putting lotion on regularly but now my feet are once again itchy, i also just began taking depo pevara and was wondering if this may be a symptom?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The fact that the itching is confined to the feet implies that it is likely related to something coming into contact with the feet such as lotion, cream, socks, shoes.
You may want to determine if any of these would likely cause your reaction.
The use of an oral anti histamine and mild topical steroid to the area would help the itching.
I hope this helps

It is likely that you are allergic to something coming into contact with your feet such as creams or the material in your socks or shoes.
You may want to assess for any changes and consider using hypoallergic products There are less likely to cause an allergic response.
It is not likely related to the depo provera.
