They itch really bad and when I scratch them its like a perfect circle with a hollow middle, looks like a doughnut and after I scratch it the ring raises.The wierd thing is, its under the skin. They only show up on the inside of my hands and the bottoms of my feet. I have been having this happen off and on for 4 months now. I know its is NOT ring worm. Just wondering if anyone has heard of this before or if anyone has any ideas on how I can make them go away.
Does anyone know what these itchy spots on the inside of my hands and bottom of my feet could be ?
This answer is not from a qualified medical expert. Just experience of having observed the health out of keen interest.
The answer suggested is : There is a kind of heat developed in the body, and this heat is affecting a certain kind of fluid in our body. When this fluid gets excessively 'warmed' up it tries to let the heat out through inside of hands or feet, depending on where the blood flow is more(due to our physical activity). In most cases, it causes cracked heel. Where the inside skin/surface of the feet or hand offers resistance(due to good texture or due to care given, or even due to lack of adequate blood flow to it) the heat in its effort to come out manifests as an itch prompting the person to scratch vigourously. When you scratch, the response is the symptom that you mentioned(the ring raises, doughnut like etc). With such non-professional answer, any remedy suggested should atleast not cause side-effects, if not a cure. So what I suggest is, gradually reduce heat causing food items, and replace them with body-cooling items(not cool drinks or refrigerated water--they increase the heat !).
Drink plenty of water, even if it inconveniences going to toilet a bit more frequently. Try fruits and vegetables(permissible vegetables in preferably raw form), which cool the system. Reduce oily, fatty and junk food. The change in food pattern if gradual should not in any way have adverse or side effects. You had this itch for 4 months. When you say off and on, it means the intermittent small change of climate has supported relief off and on. Best wishes for speedy recovery.
Reply:it could be tinuitis. This is a fungus that typically will grow where there is sweat or moisture. It loves feet, palms of the hands, arm pits and inner thighs.
You can go to any local drug store and purchase Lamisil AT, this will kill the fungus. Apply it 3 times a day, cover tightly and keep covered at all times. Wash your hands and feet with anti bacterial soap when bathing. DO NOT SCRATCH! Scratching will cause it to spread. Make sure that you are keeping yourself clean at all times. Purchase hand sanitizer, this can spred from person to person just by touching an object that you might have touched.
The other option is to go to the doctor and they will give you super strong antibiotics to kill the fungus.
If not gone in 10 days seek medical attention.
