What Causes The Constant Itch Below The Big Toe Bone?
Just below my left big toe bone, I have what appears to look like a swelling its itching all the time- has been for months. It doesn t hurt. It tingles all the time. Very irritating. This area is scaly and inflamed and when itched a lot causes welts/swelling and it looks as though its filled with fluid when its swollen. What s causing this constant itch? Its getting worse and worse by day.

Hello,
As per your case history of itching on the toe, my treatment advice is:
1. Do not scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like Fusiderm-B cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medicine like levocetirizine for 7 to 10 days.
If the problem persists, then consult a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
