Hello,

Itchy spot on the sole of foot is commonly caused by allergy, contact dermatitis or fungal infection (tinea pedis). If they are fluid filled they can be dyshidrotic eczema. Itchy feet may be indicative of high blood glucose or diabetes. You are suggested to wash the feet with warm water and savlon/dettol. Washing in neem oil is equally effective.

You should take care of your hygiene, after patting it dry apply ointment Clotrimazole in the area affected. You can take a course of anti-fungals (Fluconazole) orally. Take non sedating antihistamines orally to get rid of itching. Do not scratch or touch. Ointment hydrocortisone is equally effective when applied in the area affected. Cut on sugar and carbohydrate intake so that it heals faster. Protect it from getting infected.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
