Do I have athletes foot?

Question

Asked for Female, 31 Years

The last couple of nights , I’ve woken up to EXTREME itching on the bottom of my feet. I have no signs of a rash or really no redness. I do have cracking on my heels, but that’s pretty normal for me. Is this athletes foot, although my only symptom is itching? I’ve been using anti fungal spray just to be safe, which does seem to temporarily ease the itching.

Without examination of the skin condition and knowing the extent of involvement.. along with more information on ongoing medication or previous history of skin illness it is not possible to comment on the treatment that would suit you best. Please get the problem checked thoroughly by visiting a qualified dermatologist. Hope this is helpful.
