Suggest Treatment For Itching In Toes

Hi, when I stand for over a minute or more, the top of my feet and toes begin to itch very badly and they also turn red in color. I am only 22 yrs old and I have had a C6 C7 vertebrae fusion in the past. Diabetes also runs in my family severely. Should I worry about this problem and what can I do to stop this?
