Why are my feet swollen and itchy?

Swollen and itchy feet may be caused by allergies or insect bites, and are also related to athlete's foot, and may cause symptoms of swollen and itchy feet.

1. Allergy: Swollen and itchy feet are closely related to allergic factors. If the shoes and socks you wear are made of poor materials, after an allergy, it may cause erythema or edema on the feet, accompanied by itching. If you experience itching, do not scratch it with your hands to avoid skin damage or inflammation. You can go to the hospital to find the allergens, and then cooperate with the doctor to take anti-allergic drugs, such as cetirizine or loratadine, to help relieve itching symptoms;

2. Mosquito bites: If there are many mosquitoes in the hot summer, your feet may become swollen and itchy after being bitten by mosquitoes, and red bumps may appear on your feet. If itching occurs, applying floral water can usually help relieve the symptoms.

3. Athlete's foot: Athlete's foot is usually caused by fungal infection, often occurring on the skin of the soles of the feet and between the toes. Peeling or cracking may occur, and it may be accompanied by obvious itching symptoms. If you scratch it excessively with your hands, it may cause skin damage and swelling. If necessary, you can apply antifungal drugs under the guidance of a doctor, such as ketoconazole ointment or fluconazole ointment.
