Foot Itches in Same Spot

[Hockeygirl55]

Trying to relax, but I stupidly googled 😢
My right foot, in the same spot/area, has been itching on and off. It’s not deep in my skin or anything like that. I scratch and it goes away, but always comes back at some point. Google is trying to convince me I have peripheral neuropathy or something, even though I have zero other symptoms. I just had bloodwork back at the end of November and everything was normal. Blood sugars 88, so no diabetes or anything like that. Please reply if you’ve had something similar because I’m starting to freak out. 😭

Even with it itching in the exact same spot?! Is this possible? 😭

Athletes foot? Eczema? Change in soap powder?

Can these happen with no rush/bumps?

Yes! Dry skin usually happens in the same spots over and over again. Example: elbows, knees

I want to be clear that I am not trying to make fun of you in any way, but this might be one of the most clear-cut examples of just how ridiculously unhelpful and terrible google is for us HA sufferers, and this example is particularly amusing.

Foot itches -> Google -> something potentially horrible.

Not to dismiss your fears or anything, but you are without a doubt completely fine and this is normal.

If I were you, I would write this down somewhere where you'll see it, maybe make a note on your phone, because I think this will be a scenario that you can look back on and point to as a moment of HA making you think ridiculous things.

Reminds me of the time I poked myself in the eye and then thought the eye pain meant I had brain cancer.

Lol! Your eye comment made me laugh. Thank you for replying! I’m trying to be rational for sure, but it’s bothersome that it’s in the same spot every time! So weird to me! Staying off of google lol.

Haha the eye comment made me laugh too
Seriously though, you are now focusing on that same spot being itchy which is heightening your anxiety and making you think all kinds of sorcery. Get it scratched and get some dry skin cream on
