I am over 80 years old, so no I m not an athlete. do have spinal stenosis, which I did have surgery last year, that has been corrected. I take Lipitor, omrapazol, synthroid, and diovan. The soles of my feet get quite pink and itch and feel like they burn. What could be the cause.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The itch you are experiencing can be due to a fungal infection, especially because you are on antibiotics.
I would advise you to use an antifungal cream such as miconazole (or clotrimazole) cream twice a day on your soles for 2 weeks. If this does not help you will need to see your doctor.

I hope this answers your query.
I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.

Regards,
