answers:

I had/ have the same thing but only on my right foot, your best bet is to see a foot doctor to get checked to see what it is but when i went i got put on 6 different cremes and none worked so i just became very obsessed with keeping my foot dry and clean while using a store brand fungus killer and powder it has toned down alot. I used to wake up in my sleep itching my foot but now i can sleep through the night and i find myself itching about once a day now compared to throughout the day

Donald asks…

Foot Fungus?!?!?! HELP!?

Ok so about 4 weeks ago, i noticed a tiny pimple on my right foot. It was itchy so I scratched it. Then a whole bunch of tiny bumps formed around the bump and now I have this huge red mark on the top of my foot, with lots of little bumps. Its so gross! I think its like a fungus or something, I have been putting some cream on it, like from past perscriptions for dry skin, but I dont think it works. Should I g to a doctor? I actually think i should, but what is this???I know its not athletes foot because athletes foot is nasty and mines not that bad. what could i be? ps. heres a picture.. Im really sorry by the way it looks.. its embarrassing enough… and also theres white stuff on it… THATS just CREAM!!
