The occurrence of unpleasant sensations, especially itching, on the legs in the anatomical range - from the feet to the knees, causes discomfort and a feeling of anxiety both physiologically and morally. But, besides this, such symptoms indicate health deviations in the human body.
The main causes of itching on the legs from the feet to the knees
There can be many reasons that cause itching on the legs from the feet to the knees, but usually allocated in the areas:
As can be seen from this, unfortunately, considerable list, unpleasant symptoms are not necessarily associated with problems in the musculoskeletal system, but often on the contrary, itching on the legs from the feet to the knees indicates other pathologies.
Note! In order to make a more accurate diagnosis, firstly, you need to contact a specialist at the clinic, and secondly, undergo a clinical examination, on the basis of which the exact cause is determined.
The main feature of the reasons can be considered the fact that if they are identified at the primary stage and during a preventive examination, then there is a possibility of their correction and complete prevention of the disease, of which they are symptoms.
At the initial stage and during a preventive examination, that is, the likelihood of their correction and complete prevention of the disease of which they are symptoms. However, itching on the legs (from about the feet to the knees) is often accompanied by additional signs of health problems.
Additional symptoms include:
Considering all the factors of the seriousness of the consequences of such symptoms, you should not wait for them to worsen, It is better to consult a doctor without delay.
Dermatoses and dermatitis
Everyone knows that the skin is an indicator, one might say, a “litmus test” that allows you to find out about internal and external problems in the body. So, exactly Dermatitis is distinguished by the nature of the direction of impact.
Dermatitis is a non-infectious disease; the shape of the rash and the number of inflammatory foci depend on the etymology and type of disease.
Dermatitis is a non-infectious disease; the shape of the rash and the number of inflammatory foci depend on the etymology and type of disease.
Toxiderma on the legs is considered a symptom of internal disease (or infection of the dermis).
More a complex case of this type of dermatitis - atopic eczema, its chronic, often recurring form is also called inflammatory dermatosis.
It often occurs in people with hereditary IgE-type hypersensitivity, which reacts to a variety of food and drug allergens.
Due to external exposure to various types of irritants, contact dermatitis is determined.
The influence of any chemical composition, for example, cream, can lead to itching. Factors that provoke and contribute to the development of pathology include:
- Physical and mechanical – the influence of critical temperatures, burns, friction, pressure, shock.
- Chemical – the influence of any chemical composition, for example, cosmetics, household cleaning products.
- Biological – fungi, viruses.
Allergic reactions
A common cause of itching on the legs from the feet to the knees can be considered an allergic reaction. Allergies can occur to the following drugs:
- environmental, household (plant pollen, animal hair, household dust, etc.);
- food (eggs, citrus fruits, etc.);
- medicinal.
Basically, an allergic rash looks like hives, and in more complex cases it merges into inflamed, reddened areas with a pronounced itchy effect.
Allergies can occur to a variety of drugs. To everyone's chagrin, the number of people prone to allergies is growing. Due to the growth and mutation of the allergens themselves, there is a risk of uncertainty about the underlying causes of the developing symptoms.
Skin diseases
In addition to dermatitis, skin diseases include the most unpleasant a disease initially associated with the body’s autoimmune system – psoriasis. Its symptoms always include constantly disturbing itching, and not only on the legs from the feet to the knees.
Papules and plaques are very scaly and tend to form continuous, extensive lesions not only in the area of the knee joints, but also on the thighs, even on the head under the hair.
Papules and plaques are very scaly and tend to form continuous, extensive lesions not only in the area of the knee joints, but also on the thighs, even on the head under the hair. Among skin diseases, chronic pathologies of the epidermis are also distinguished.– lichen planus, Dühring’s dermatitis (herpetiform type), which are accompanied by intense itching.
In such cases It is necessary to maintain animal hygiene and frequent cleaning(disinfection) of shared premises.

It would seem, how can diabetes mellitus affect the condition of the skin and cause uncomfortable emotions, undergoing itching?
This affects patients with a long history that is difficult to treat. When the course worsens in conjunction with varicose veins, non-healing ulcers may appear and “diabetic foot” syndrome may form.
Neuropathy with this disease can produce the following side effects, perhaps even a combination of pain and “pins and needles” in the limbs. Fungal skin infections
The genesis of skin infection by various types of fungi is such that first the integrity of the epidermis is violated, for example, by an insect bite or a mechanical wound, and then a fungus enters the area, which causes itching on the legs, the root cause of allergies, and not vice versa.
Correctly determine the location (for example, from the foot to the knees), the degree of the disease and Only a dermatologist can make a diagnosis based on laboratory tests.
First, the integrity of the epidermis is violated, for example, by an insect bite or a mechanical wound, and then a fungus enters the area, which causes itching. With properly selected treatment, problems with both fungal infections and allergies disappear.
Neuralgic problems
Disturbances in the functioning of the nervous system entail changes in nerve endings(fibers) and skin receptors. For example, itching on the legs from the feet to the knees is precisely a clear symptom of a neuralgic disease called neurodermatitis.
Defined as chronic dermatosis with the appearance of many papules and the development of secondary lichenification due to endless scratching.
Disturbances in the functioning of the nervous system entail changes in nerve endings (fibers) and skin receptors. Treatment for itchy feet
Before starting treatment, it is advisable to consult a specialist, who examines in detail a person with itchy extremities.
First, external observation of the skin occurs, the history of the course and occurrence of discomfort is clarified. The doctor will definitely ask other family members about similar symptoms and palpate the lymph nodes, spleen, etc.
After this, he will prescribe a conclusion based on which he diagnoses “classic” dermatosis (dermatitis) or determines that itching is a symptom of some more serious disease.
Before starting treatment, it is advisable to consult a specialist who will thoroughly examine a person with itchy extremities. However, it may be impossible to accurately identify and eliminate sources, then General therapy is prescribed - symptomatic, to alleviate the patient's condition. If an underlying disease is identified that causes itching on the legs, then generally accepted methods are used to treat such diseases.
Drug treatment
In this area of therapy the following are used:
- sedatives;
- anxiolytics;
- detoxifiers, adsorbents;
- antihistamines.

Antihistamines, as a rule, are taken orally (orally) and in combination with others, because they help relieve itching. In addition to “internal” remedies, there is external therapy, and antipruritic solutions are used to treat inflammatory foci.
These solutions include:
In addition to liquid medications, wounds are pre-disinfected(5% anesthesin, external glucocorticosteroids), and then apply ointments, pastes (Sinaflan, Psilo-balm, Mesoderm) and even sometimes special powders.
If the cases are advanced and complex, then novocaine blockades of certain nerves are performed.
Physiotherapy
The goal of physiotherapeutic treatment is to provide a general strengthening, antipruritic, anti-inflammatory, detoxifying effect and become a catalyst for certain medications, thereby accelerating the patient’s recovery process.
The purpose of physiotherapeutic treatment is to provide a general strengthening, antipruritic, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying effect. For example, electrosleep will help. Carefully! There are contraindications; in some diseases it is impossible to use individual procedures, such as tumors, kidney and liver damage, and inflammatory skin processes at their peak.

Psychotherapy
When the balance of mediators in the nerve endings of the epidermis is disturbed, endless “itching” urges arise against the background of general irritability and anxiety. That is itching is a side symptom of stress, depression, and anxiety.
Then psychotherapy is used in combination with the main treatment., under the guidance of a specialist. It will help correct the patient’s attitude towards others and change the approach to perceiving what is happening, ultimately eliminating skin irritation.

- sunburn;
- cosmetic allergens;
- prickly heat;
- some types of metals, such as cobalt;

Exposure to external stimuli
Irritating substances are those that cause a response in the body. These may be ointments or medications used to treat other health problems, such as:
- statins;
- drugs or opioids;
- ACE inhibitors;
- morphine sulfate.
Internal diseases of the body
From a medical point of view, increased levels of certain neurotransmitters in the body cause itching. Therefore, your doctor may recommend a medicine that lowers its levels. The reasons for this condition may be:

- liver diseases;
- kidney disease;
- cholestasis (impaired formation and secretion of bile);
- polycythemia vera (blood disease);

Itchy feet during pregnancy
Increased blood flow to the feet is the main cause of itchy feet and soles during pregnancy. If the itching is minor, there is no cause for concern, but if it is severe, this may be a symptom of obstetric cholestasis (liver damage).
Obstetric cholestasis (intrahepatic or cholestasis of pregnancy) occurs in 1% of pregnant women and requires urgent medical attention. It usually appears in the twenty-eighth week of pregnancy.
Some pregnant women develop a severe rash after itching occurs over time. Often your feet begin to itch more severely in the evening. Additional symptoms of liver problems:
- pale light stools;
- dark urine;
- jaundice.
Itching of soles without rash
If the soles of the feet itch, but there are no skin rashes, then this may be a symptom of liver disease, while the soles of the feet and palms itch more often. At night the itching intensifies. An ultrasound of the liver may be required to establish an accurate diagnosis.
Treatment and relief of itchy soles of feet
Treatment depends on the causes; if it is an allergic reaction, then it is necessary to exclude provoking foods from the diet. To help relieve itching:
- prescription medications such as tricyclic antidepressants, gabapentin, or SSRIs;
- H1-histamine receptor blocking antihistamines such as Benadryl. It is important to remember that antihistamines have side effects and are not recommended for older people;

- Baking soda. Every day, pour a little baking soda into your socks and shoes, it will absorb all the excess moisture. But this is more of a preventative measure rather than a curative one.
Itchy feet are often accompanied by burning, peeling and redness of the skin. If such symptoms occur systematically, then you should not postpone going to the doctor. The most common cause of itching is a fungus (mycosis). But this is far from the only pathology that can cause discomfort in the foot area.
Itchy feet may indicate a fungus
Why do my feet itch?
Itching can act as a symptom and indicate the presence of hidden diseases. A person may have itchy palms and feet, fingers, knees, face, and groin area. Many infectious and fungal diseases, as well as allergic reactions, are localized in these areas.
Fungus on the foot manifests itself in the form of peeling and burning skin
The feet may also become itchy due to insect bites. Itching appears against the background of somatic diseases, neuroses, and HIV infection. An unpleasant symptom can occur after drinking alcohol, since drinking alcohol leads to intoxication of the body. Often, feet begin to itch very much after swimming in a pool or swimming in a river, which directly indicates dirty or contaminated water.
Itchy feet during pregnancy
Itching during pregnancy is caused by hormonal changes occurring in the body. Discomfort can be localized in any part of the body, but most often it affects the nipple areolas, feet, palms and abdomen. An equally common cause of itching is swelling that occurs on the legs in the second and third trimester of pregnancy.
Also, do not forget about chronic dermatitis, which worsens during pregnancy. If a woman has any skin diseases, then they can remind themselves through itching, peeling and irritation of the epidermis in different places.
Expectant mothers who take a large number of medications (in particular, vitamin complexes) may develop hepatosis. This disease is localized in the liver area, the disease is also accompanied by itching.
Any liver disorders, as well as increased levels of bilirubin (liver pigment), lead to itching. This is another reason for the appearance of scabies syndrome after drinking alcohol.
During pregnancy, the level of estrogen (female steroid hormones) increases. Because of this, not only the feet, but also other parts of the body may begin to itch. If the estrogen level does not exceed the permissible norm, then there is no need to worry.
Itchy foot in a child
Children's skin is more delicate and susceptible to various infections and bacteria. In infants, itchy feet may occur due to an allergic reaction to skincare products, fabrics, or food. As a rule, discomfort caused by allergies is accompanied by a rash and burning sensation. Itching at night may also indicate scabies. Because of this, the child will sleep poorly, be capricious and fidget.
Children often develop enteroviral infections, the causative agents of which are enteroviruses, as well as the Coxsackie and ECHO viruses. Pathogenic microorganisms from these categories are found in water and food. Viral infection leads to itching, rash, and the development of gastrointestinal diseases.
A child may develop vitamin deficiency due to a lack of useful microelements in the body. Both the lower and upper torso suffer from this. Peeling appears on the arms and legs, the skin becomes dry and painfully pale. Such symptoms most often result from a lack of B vitamins.
Lack of vitamins can cause itching and peeling of a child's feet
Methods for treating itchy feet
What to do if the soles of your feet itch? You definitely need to see a doctor. Self-treatment will not provide a 100% guarantee of recovery, and in some cases it will only make things worse. It is not recommended to take any medications without medical advice. For therapy, you can use ointments and creams, since they do not have a negative effect on the body.
Medications
At the very beginning of treatment, you can use emollient creams. They are suitable for children and adults. Such products do not penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin, but they can relieve itching caused by dermatitis or an allergic reaction. For children, you can use products from the Mustela company. The cheapest option is regular Vaseline, which has a softening and caring effect.
For adults, pharmaceutical creams from the Vishy company (from the Normaderm series) are suitable. These products are the safest and most effective when compared with other pharmacy cosmetics.
Under no circumstances should you use salicylic ointment if your skin is extremely dry. It can only be used for dermatitis and eczema. To get rid of itching, it is better to use zinc ointment (it is allowed even for pregnant women).
Medications that can relieve itching:
- . An ointment containing menthol, boric acid and petroleum jelly. Has a calming, analgesic and antiseptic effect. The product should be applied to the feet in a thin layer 1-2 times a day. The ointment quickly relieves itching and softens the skin. Cost of the drug: within 100 rubles.
- Oxycort. The medication should not be used by pregnant and lactating women. The drug contains oxytetracycline, petrolatum and hydrocortisone acetate. The ointment is used to treat various dermatitis and pruritus. It helps get rid of burns and frostbite. The product should be used up to 3 times a day. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas. The course of treatment for children should not last longer than 7 days. The cost of the ointment (for 10 grams) is 250-300 rubles.
- Iricar. The drug has an anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effect. This remedy can be used to treat children. It should be applied in a thin layer 3 times a day.

Before using each product, it is necessary to test for an allergic reaction. To do this, a small amount of the drug should be applied to any area of the skin and left for several hours.
Folk remedies
You can get rid of itching by using readily available and cheap ingredients. Folk remedies are not suitable for the treatment of serious diseases, since their effect is superficial and is aimed only at relieving discomfort.
Baby cream and essential oils
It is best to buy baby cream with chamomile extract. This medicinal plant is known for its calming and anti-inflammatory effects. Instead of cream, you can use Vaseline, but you will need to melt it first. The following oils should be used for this recipe:
- tea tree;
- jojoba;
- menthol (or mint).
Tea tree oil helps relieve itching
You will need to add 2 drops of each oil to the base (cream or Vaseline). The resulting product should be smeared on the heels 2-3 times a day.
Essential oils can be used separately, as they work well against itching. To do this, apply the product to a cotton pad and wipe the affected area. It is worth considering that oils greatly dry out the skin.
Soothing baths
To make a soothing bath, you can use sea salt, chamomile or lavender infusion. An important rule: the water should not be hot. For 10 liters of water you will need 100 ml of medicinal decoction or 100 grams of sea salt. It would be much more economical to make one basin. In principle, if your feet do not itch too much, even a cold shower will help.
Sea salt is suitable for preparing soothing baths.
Alcohol solution
An excellent remedy to help relieve itching from insect bites. For 100 ml of water you will need 20-30 ml of alcohol. The finished product should be applied locally using a cotton swab, as it can cause peeling of the skin.
Baking soda is also very good for itching. One glass of soda should be added to the bath or basin. The water should be warm (ideally cool). You will need to immerse your feet in the resulting solution for 30-40 minutes.
A baking soda bath helps relieve itching.
Diet
The soles of your feet may itch due to vitamin deficiency or poor nutrition. Therefore, if itching occurs, you need to reconsider your diet. Especially if all kinds of medications do not have a positive effect.
To begin with, you should give up alcoholic drinks and excessively fatty foods. You should reduce your consumption of citrus fruits and sweets. It is also recommended to add more foods containing vitamin B to your diet (tomatoes, nuts, cereals, beef). For the best effect, you need to give up caffeine.
If your feet feel itchy, stop drinking coffee.
Prevention
Many reasons can cause irritation of the skin around the feet. Despite this, everyone can protect themselves from itching.
Main rules of prevention:
- do not wear someone else's shoes;
- do not abuse alcoholic beverages;
- refuse narrow shoes that squeeze your feet;
- get rid of shoes made of synthetic materials;
- do not use expired, low-quality foot creams;
- do not swim in dirty water;
- Avoid close contact with people who show symptoms of scabies or fungus.
To avoid irritation on your feet, avoid wearing uncomfortable shoes.
These rules will help protect yourself from the most common diseases that cause itchy feet.
It is also worth understanding that scabies syndrome can occur against the background of stress and neuroses. If itching appears constantly and for no apparent reason, then you should take sedative tablets or decoctions.
One of the most common complaints among people is itching on the soles of their feet. The main reason for the manifestation of these uncomfortable sensations is damage to the integrity of the skin on the feet. Self-diagnosing the disease and self-medicating in this situation is not a rational decision.
The sole of the foot itches - reasons
In medical practice, the following are the main reasons why the sole of the foot itches. These include:
Fungal infection of the skin.
Thermal and mechanical damage to the skin.
Venous varicose veins.
Allergic reactions.
Insect bites.
In most cases, an uncomfortable itching sensation occurs due to a fungal infection. This is one of the first symptoms signaling the development of this pathology.
Infection of the soles with pathogenic fungi of any type occurs in case of non-compliance with personal hygiene measures when visiting rooms with high humidity. It is very easy to become infected with this infection, but to completely recover from the fungus is quite difficult and takes a long time.
Mechanical and thermal injuries include abrasions, frostbite and burns. The formation of calluses and corns can also cause an itchy sensation.
Venous varicose veins of the lower extremities provoke itching on the sole. This occurs due to the fact that the walls of the blood vessels are very thin and quite intensely constricted, which automatically leads to dysfunction of the blood flow.
If an allergic reaction develops, it is recommended to closely monitor your general health, since in addition to itching on the feet, allergies can manifest themselves in other symptoms. Allergens can be different from food, cosmetics and to dust and dirt that settles on the feet.
When insect bites, constant injury to the skin occurs due to scratching the affected area. This in turn increases the likelihood of developing infectious diseases, which also cause itching.
Itchy soles of feet: how to relieve itching
Regardless of the reasons that provoke the appearance of itching on the feet, this pronounced symptomatology can be reduced using the following means:
Cold. Under the influence of low temperatures, skin pores narrow, irritation decreases, and the sensation of receptors dulls. Also, under its influence, blood flow in the affected area of the sole is suspended and histamine production is blocked. This is a substance secreted by the epidermis that causes itching sensations.
Warm. Under the influence of elevated temperature, the pores open, which leads to relaxation of the epidermis, relieves tension and reduces the intensity of itching. Histamine activity in the circulatory system is stimulated. As a result of this, it does not concentrate or accumulate, and the uncomfortable sensation of itching disappears.
Baking soda. To reduce the intensity of itching on the legs, it is recommended to take special soda baths. After using them, you should let your feet dry without rinsing off the solution. If it is not possible to take a bath, you can apply a small amount of wet soda to a cotton pad and treat the affected areas with it. For infectious or fungal infections that provoke these discomforts, a paste of baking soda and water is applied to the feet.
Sea salt. Ideal for a special foot bath. To prepare it, dissolve 50 grams of pure salt in 1 liter of hot water without adding various flavors. The duration of this procedure is no more than 10 minutes.
Honey and propolis are a good natural antibiotic that easily minimizes itching sensations. Used for thermal lesions of the skin of the sole.
Cereals. When the soles of your feet are very itchy, it is recommended to apply oatmeal paste to the affected areas, prepared by mixing a glass of flakes with 250 ml of boiling water. Under its influence, the skin structure is restored and an additional protective layer is formed. This helps neutralize itching on the soles.
Itchy soles of feet: treatment
Before starting treatment for this disease, you should undergo a comprehensive examination. Based on its results, a therapeutic course is prescribed. In most cases, it consists of drug therapy and the parallel use of traditional medicine.
In the presence of mycosis of the feet, antifungal drugs with fungicidal and fungistatic pharmacological action are prescribed. Depending on the extent of the lesion, both systemic and local medications can be taken. In this case, derivatives of azoles and allylamines are prescribed.
Lamisil.
Nizoral.
Mikoderil.
In case of inflammatory processes or the presence of thermal or mechanical damage, medications are prescribed that have the following pharmacological effects: desensitizing, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory.
The most effective ointments:
Soventol.
Rescuer.
If the soles of the feet itch due to varicose veins, a therapeutic course is recommended, which is based on taking drugs that increase the tone of the walls of veins and blood vessels, as well as strengthening them. Drug treatment is complemented by physical procedures, such as magnetotherapy, laser treatment, electropuncture stimulation.
Troxevasin ointment.
Venoruton.
Detralex.
If the itching sensation was provoked by an allergic reaction, antihistamines are prescribed, among which it is worth highlighting:
Lamisin.
Loratadine.
You should also avoid contact with the allergen, which will prevent further development of the pathological process and stop the resulting allergy.
To neutralize the itching caused by insect bites, ointments are used that have anti-inflammatory, anti-allergenic and reparative effects.
The most effective medications include:
Nezulin.
Psilo-balm.
Fenistil gel.
Bepanten.
Regardless of the causes of itching, a rational and correct prescription would be to take sedatives.
The sole of your foot itches: when do you need a doctor?
The manifestation of uncomfortable itching sensations in the area of the soles indicates the initial stage of development of various pathologies. Only a doctor can establish an accurate diagnosis, identify a specific cause and prescribe the necessary course of treatment.
In what situations should you visit a doctor's office:
With severe progression of the disease.
When the itching intensifies.
When itching is accompanied by additional symptoms: increased body temperature, shortness of breath, convulsions, and so on.
