What Causes Severe Itchiness On The Top And The Sole Of The Foot?
Hi. Since last night I ve had extreme itching on the sides, soles & the top of both my feet. If I scratch there is a little relief but then it itches again. I also just started taking a prescribed antibiotic & decongestant for a sinus infection..could it be a reaction to it?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
In my opinion it is not an allergic reaction.
It can be a fungal infection which is very common after the use of antibiotics.
I suggest using an antihistamine for the itching such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily.
I also suggest using Fluconazole cream for local application.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
