Why could my feet be tingling and itching?

Question by Crazy Angel: Why could my feet be tingling and itching?
About a week ago, my feet started itching. It felt like something was crawling on them, and it was very uncomfortable. Also, sometimes, when I don’t itch them, I feel a reoccurring tingling sensation that won’t go away. I’ve already been to the doctor, and she checked my blood, and couldn’t find anything wrong with me. I’ve been using “anti-itch” creams, but those haven’t done anything. I’ve also soaked my feet in hot water, and put alcohol and vinegar (not in the same instance) on them. None of which have worked. Can anyone help me?

It could be a parasite…..have you been out of the country recently? Technically you can still get them in the US, but they’re easier to come by in other places.

Here’s a great article on a bunch of other possibilities including athlete’s foot, fleas and parasites. Pictures too!
