Why do my feet get itchy at night?

Check the spaces between your toes, soles, and heels. Scaling or peeling, especially between toes, can occur with Athlete's Foot. Small deep blisters on the soles or sides may fit Dyshidrotic Eczema. A rash that follows new footwear, detergent, or a foot product may be Contact Dermatitis. Nighttime warmth under socks or bedding can make an existing itch feel stronger without identifying the cause by itself.

Rinse gently, pat dry carefully between the toes, and use a fragrance-free moisturiser on dry areas, avoiding lotion between the toes if the skin is damp. Choose breathable socks, change them when moist, and avoid scratching. Do not share towels or footwear if scaling suggests Athlete's Foot. A pharmacist or clinician can advise whether Topical Antifungal Treatment fits the skin findings.

Arrange medical advice if itching persists, repeatedly disrupts sleep, spreads, or does not improve after removing a suspected irritant. Seek prompt care for increasing warmth, swelling, severe pain, pus, fever, rapidly spreading redness, or a wound that is not healing. People with diabetes, reduced sensation, or poor circulation should have new foot skin changes assessed early.

Could the pattern between my toes, on my soles, or around my heels suggest a fungal infection or eczema? Which products should I stop, and what treatment is suitable for the area?
