<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.About 8 wks ago, I got an itch at the bottom of my leg by my foot wno noticeable signs of bites, ringworm, etc. One night it itched so bad I just got my other foot and scratched until it almost become raw because of the itching. It has turned into a dime shaped ring, not ringworm as I ve had before in my life. It s gone from light pink to a dark red now, still itching, flaking wit. I ve tried every OCD and it s looking even worse. Any ideas?  <response>: Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. Itchy foot could be due to- - keeping it sweaty, lack of cleaning, being packed in shoes poor exposure to air socks most of the time. Socks not being changed washed cleaned over days. Such condition many a times results in fungal infectionTania FEDIS - Athletes foot-This is a contagious infection-- may be contacted by using same foot wares - Chat Doctor.
