For a good two weeks, my feet have been getting very very very itchy bumps about the size of a pin head or two. They started on the inner arch of my feet and have now spread to my toes. Nothing on my heels.
There is no real redness, just very itchy bumps. I felt like sticking my feet on the iron yesterday doing laundry.Lol
does this sound like athletes foot? I started using clotrimazole and foot powder to keep them dry and wearing socks around the house. It is just soooooooooooo uncomfortable!How long does this last for?

I know this is a late reply and by now i'm sure that your feet are ok.
It did sound like athlete's foot...
Next time, make sure you use clean socks, and take off your shoes/socks after excersizing. And never, ever use a public shower or bath barefoot. My sister got athlet's foot once after using the gym shower.
So did you use anything to get rid of it? A prescription cream maybe?

My feet are better thank you. It actually ended up being a strain of coxsacki virus I must have gotten from my god-child who goes to daycare. All better now!
