To think I genuinely have the itchiest toe on earth?

[MumofBaby]

It's ridiculous. I don't walk around barefoot, I don't go to the swimming baths or gym, I keep my feet to myself.

And yet somehow (I'm thinking perhaps through new shoes or borrowing DP's socks- which were clean, and he has nice clean feet), I have contracted some kind of itchy toe disease.

It makes me want to hurl. My whole toe is red and F! And itchy itchy itchy. It's strange how one itch can make you want to chop your whole foot off!!

Don't know about itch but my big toe once went numb for almost 6 months.

Really? Why? I've never had anything go numb.

No idea. I never got round to seeing the doctor about it and then one day realised it was fine again. Strange.

I had swollen, red itchy toes I think it was cold weather related chill blains or something. I was madly itching for weeks. My toes are fine now.

Fungal infection I reckon. All kinds of em and you can pick em up anywhere. Daktarin will do the trick or diluted grapefruit seed extract. Coupla days. No itch.

Put bonjela on it and see the GP.

Athletes foot is so itchy ! You can get it from having sweaty feet in socks all day.

You'll all be pleased to know I no longer have an itchy toe or an itchy finger. A little dry skin, admittedly. But the disease has gone.
