Why do my toes itch so much?

Often, itchy feet can easily be a simple reaction to a synthetic irritant found in low-quality shoes and clothing. But sometimes severe itching of the toes can indicate the initial stage of a fungal disease and a number of other threats to skin health. Therefore, if unpleasant sensations become regular, when the desire to scratch your feet and toes becomes a daily necessity, it is recommended that you consult a dermatologist without delay.

Safe and dangerous irritants

An itchy feeling in the skin of your fingers is not always a cause for concern. An allergic reaction to the composition of gel, foot soap, or simply the composition of tap water, which can act as an irritant, is a common cause of discomfort.

If the desire to itch your feet occurs after taking a shower, it is enough to change the personal hygiene products you use to eliminate it.

When tap water is the cause of itching, you must wait until it is cleared of the allergen. Often, unpleasant sensations result from its cleaning, for which chlorine is used - a strong skin irritant.

Cases where the above-mentioned irritants are not the cause of discomfort require a more careful study of the question of why your toes itch. To do this, you need to visit a doctor, preferably a dermatologist. A large number of dangers that can cause itchy feet include a fairly wide range of diseases. Some of them can pose a serious threat to the health of the body.

Without treatment, discomfort in the toes will be one of the least of the patient's problems. Fungal infection, scabies mites, stress and nervous disorders - all this is fraught with long-term treatment and unpleasant sensations.

The most common source of itching

Fungal infection is the main cause of itchy toes. The penetration of infection into the skin tissue greatly irritates the skin, causing persistent discomfort.

An additional symptom that most likely confirms mycosis of the fingers is a burning sensation. It occurs as a result of destruction of the integrity of the layers of the dermis and stimulation of nerve endings due to numerous foci of infectious inflammation.

Since there are so many nerve endings on the toes, the severity of the discomfort experienced can vary markedly depending on the stage of the disease - from mild to unbearably intense.

Medical statistics confirm that more than sixty to seventy percent of people living on the planet have been exposed to mycosis at least once. The reason for the development of the disease may be failure to comply with personal hygiene rules, visiting a public sauna, bathhouse, or walking along the beach without beach shoes.

Fungal spores are highly survivable, especially if they are in a humid environment. This can equally easily include both a public shower and uncleaned shoes after profuse sweating. If the skin on the legs did not itch before visiting such places, and suddenly a person experiences similar discomfort, it is recommended to prevent mycosis. Sometimes, in order to avoid its treatment, it is enough to wash your feet in time with disinfectants.

Remember that sometimes, to become infected with a fungus, it is enough to wear slippers at a party that were previously used by a person with mycosis of the feet. And in public showers and similar places with high humidity, the risk of infection is even higher.

Other dangers

The following conditions may be a source of danger, indicated by an itchy epidermis:

  • Allergic reaction. The skin on your toes is no less sensitive than on any other part of the body. A reaction in the form of urticaria can be triggered by new or repeatedly worn clothes or shoes, if they contain a large amount of synthetics or if a new washing powder was used for cleansing. Often the appearance of blisters and redness is the result of mycosis or a reaction to infection with scabies mites.
  • Scabies mite. In this case, the way your toe itches often feels like a fungal infection. At the very beginning, on the top of the skin it is difficult to notice the bite sites of the causative agent of the disease, but subsequently they begin to inflame, becoming more noticeable. The intensity of discomfort and the appearance of inflammation are indirect signs of scabies mites, but an experienced dermatologist is able to recognize the disease in time. To ensure confirmation, a skin scraping is taken.
  • Neurological itching. Quite a lot of dermatologist and allergist patients complain about the ineffectiveness of treatment, despite strict adherence to recommendations. In this case, the problem may be neurological in nature. Indirect confirmation is the situation when the patient has itching in one little finger or thumb. Its catalyst can be hypothermia of the feet, uncomfortable shoes, the initial stage of arthritis and a number of other diseases. In this case, it is recommended to consult a neurologist.
  • Injury. After a blow or bruise, in quite rare cases, the toes itch rather than hurt. An ingrown piece of nail, microtrauma, an unnoticed insect or animal bite, a healing fracture, a banal splinter - there can be many options for a finger injury. Additionally, tissue damage is usually accompanied by swelling, preventing self-examination. The situation is aggravated by the fact that not every person has enough flexibility to be able to clearly see their toes.
  • Sometimes itchy skin is the result of sweating, a secondary neurological reaction to stress, a reaction to heat, the use of cosmetics, or taking medications. Therefore, it is not always possible to independently find and eliminate the provoking factor.

    Prevention of discomfort

    There is no universal recommendation on what to do if itching has become a regular sensation that causes severe discomfort. Consulting a doctor, of course, can help, but for this you also need to choose the right specialist. Neurological itching will be helped by a neurologist, the consequences of injury - by a traumatologist, allergic reactions and various infectious skin infections - by an allergist and dermatologist, respectively. The first logical step to get rid of unpleasant sensations is to find the true cause of the itching. And it can only be detected through a medical examination of the area of ​​concern.

    To avoid the need to carry out the activities described above, you should follow the rules of personal hygiene. In addition, it is recommended to adhere to a set of simple preventive rules that are relevant not only for protecting against discomfort in the toes:

    • do not wear someone else’s shoes and do not try them on without socks;
    • If possible, wear socks and shoes only made from natural materials;
    • try not to use tight shoes, as this causes skin injuries, increased sweating, and impairs blood circulation in the feet;
    • use removable shoes in public places that are a source of fungal threat;
    • Avoid strong chemical allergens such as caustic cosmetics and washing powders if their use harms the skin;
    • follow a diet, sleep and rest regime, strengthen your immune system.
    • The danger of itching in the fingers mainly lies in the fact that its cause may be a serious infectious disease. Therefore, such signals from the body should be taken seriously, because often this is the only way the body can indicate the initial stage of a looming dangerous health problem.

      Why do my toes go numb, treatment methods, when to see a doctor

      Paresthesia or numbness of the toes is a condition characterized by loss of sensation in the skin of the toes and is manifested by a tingling sensation and crawling sensations.

      This condition can occur in people of any age. This is due to a wide variety of causes of paresthesia, from the most minor to the serious, requiring immediate treatment.

      So, for what reasons do your toes go numb , what can this mean, and in what cases should you definitely consult a doctor.

      Causes of numbness in the fingers of the lower extremities

      All paresthesias of the lower extremities, depending on the reasons due to which it occurs, can be divided into temporary and chronic.

      Temporary paresthesia

      Often the cause of such paresthesia is a mechanical effect, due to which the vessels are compressed and the blood supply is disrupted. If the provoking factor is excluded, the numbness goes away without a trace.

      Mechanical reasons that cause numbness in the fingers on the lower extremities include:

    • A person sits in an uncomfortable position for a long time.
    • Wearing uncomfortable shoes.
    • Due to incorrect position at night during sleep, the toes on the right or left foot often go numb (nocturnal paresthesia).
    • Prolonged exposure to low temperatures. This leads to narrowing of the arteries and disruption of blood supply.
    • Bad habits (smoking, alcohol). They negatively affect blood vessels and destroy them over time.
    • Chronic paresthesia

      The causes of this numbness in the fingers are more serious and are associated with chronic pathologies in the patient’s body. Such paresthesia occurs frequently and is felt for a long time, progressing over time.

      Symptoms of impaired sensitivity in the toes occur with the following diseases:

    • Osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine, intervertebral hernia. In this case, the big toes often go numb. As a rule, these are the most common causes of paresthesia of the toes.
    • Injuries to the lower extremities that cause nerve damage.
    • Diseases caused by metabolic disorders (diabetes mellitus). In this case, numbness will occur not only in the legs, but also in the arms.
    • Multiple sclerosis. In this case, paresis and paralysis are often associated with impaired sensitivity.
    • Polyneuropathies that occur due to a lack of vitamin B. More often, the toes on the left or right foot become numb.
    • Raynaud's syndrome. In this case, arterial circulation in small vessels is disrupted.
    • Microstroke, TIA (transient ischemic attack).
    • Rheumatoid arthritis.
    • Tumors of the spine and peripheral nerves.
    • Vascular pathologies of the lower extremities (atherosclerosis, obliterating endarteritis). When these diseases are neglected, the lumen of the vessels becomes completely clogged and gangrene develops.
    • Situations when consultation with a doctor is mandatory

      • Frequent or constant pain and numbness in your toes for no apparent reason
      • Simultaneously with the loss of sensitivity, there is a loss of coordination of movements.
      • Numbness of the toes causes weakness and dizziness
      • In addition to numbness, there is a loss of temperature sensitivity
      • Paresthesia is not an independent disease; it is a symptom that occurs with various concomitant diseases. Therefore, treatment is prescribed only after a thorough diagnosis and identification of the cause leading to loss of sensitivity.

        Only a doctor can prescribe a course of therapy; under no circumstances should you treat yourself.

        The following methods are used:

        1. Drug therapy:
          • Anti-inflammatory
          • Painkiller
          • Improves blood circulation
          • Vitamin therapy
          • Specific therapy aimed at treating the cause of finger numbness
          • Manual therapy
          • Exercise therapy
          • Physiotherapy
          • Unconventional methods:
            • Acupuncture
            • Hirudotherapy
            • Treatment is usually complex; the doctor prescribes several methods of therapy to the patient at the same time. This depends on the severity of the pathology.

              Prevention recommendations

              You can help yourself quite effectively on your own if your toes hurt and go numb and are not due to serious illnesses.

              Why do my toes go numb and how can I restore sensitivity to them?

              If your toes or feet go numb, this is paresthesia, a symptom that involves a temporary loss of sensation in the skin of the extremities. The numbness usually lasts only a short time, but sometimes there may be long-term loss of sensation. This phenomenon may be accompanied by unpleasant sensations such as tingling, pinching and even chills.

              There can be many reasons. First of all, these are external factors: uncomfortable tight shoes, low temperature or incorrect foot position. Numbness can also be a concomitant symptom with a whole list of diseases of various organs and systems. Sometimes such sensations are associated with a serious illness and indicate the need to urgently take care of your health.

              The most common reasons are:

            • 1. Diseases of the musculoskeletal system, such as arthritis, osteochondrosis and pinched nerves.
            • 2. Incorrectly healed fractures.
            • 3. Metabolic disorders, such as diabetes, blood diseases or B vitamin deficiency.
            • 4. Multiple sclerosis.
            • 5. Development of neuroma (peripheral nerve tumor).
            • 6. The occurrence of an intervertebral hernia in the lumbar or sacral region.
            • 7. Varicose veins.
            • 8. Angiopathy.
            • 9. Lumbar stenosis.
            • 10. Microstrokes.
            • Based on the nature of the numbness and accompanying sensations, you can diagnose the problem in the early stages and consult a doctor in time to avoid the development of complications. Describing the sensations in your toes and feet will help your specialist determine how to properly care for your feet and keep them healthy longer.

              Your toes may go numb:

              1. 1. Due to shoes that are too tight and heels that are too high.
              2. 2. For frostbite.
              3. 3. If the foot position is incorrect.
              4. 4. When working in a sitting position in an uncomfortable or incorrect position. This is especially true for those who lead a sedentary lifestyle: being in an uncomfortable position for a long time in the popliteal area compresses the nerves and blood vessels, which leads to impaired blood circulation, leading to numbness of the toes.
              5. 5. Under the influence of stress and fatigue. Chronic stress can lead to numbness in the fingertips, chills, anxiety, insomnia and loss of appetite.
              6. In order to avoid numbness, first of all, it is necessary to pay special attention to the correct choice of shoes. We recommend shoes made of natural materials, leather or suede, not too hard. It is necessary to avoid shoes that are too tight and narrow, as compression of the foot and toes will contribute to blood stagnation, the occurrence of varicose veins and the development of arthritis.

                Shoes should be chosen so that you can wiggle your toes. The little finger should not rest against the wall of the shoe. The optimal choice would be shoes one size larger, or 2 sizes larger in winter.

                It is worth choosing the insole separately. A medium level of hardness is recommended: an insole that is too hard will cause discomfort, while an insole that is too soft will cause foot sweating and the development of fungus.

                To eliminate the effects of external factors, special procedures can be carried out. They will relieve numbness and relax.

              7. 1. Contrast baths. In order to relieve numbness, it is necessary to fill 2 basins with water of different temperatures: cold and as hot as can be tolerated. You need to alternately dip your feet in hot and cold water several times. This procedure stimulates blood circulation, relieves fatigue from the legs and gives vitality.
              8. 2. Massage mats. This is the simplest remedy that will help not only cope with loss of sensitivity, but also prevent flat feet. Experts advise stretching your feet with a mat in the morning and evening, before bed, and also after a hard day of work.
              9. With osteochondrosis and arthritis, numbness is accompanied by a feeling of coldness in the toes, pain in the joints of the foot and ankle, and aching bones. The pain is nagging, aching, and intensifies with a sudden change in weather.

                To relieve symptoms and relieve pain, the following folk remedies are recommended:

              10. 1. Pepper oil. To prepare it you will need 100 g of black pepper per 1 liter of sunflower oil. Chopped pepper is mixed with oil and heated over low heat for no more than 30 minutes. The resulting product should be rubbed on your toes and feet. Pepper helps warm muscles and ligaments, which relieves pain and stimulates blood flow.
              11. 2. Honey compresses. To make them, it is recommended to use linden or herbal honey. Making such a compress at home is quite simple: a thin layer of honey is applied to the skin, then the leg should be wrapped in cotton cloth, then with cling film or a plastic bag. After this, you need to put on a cotton sock and leave it overnight. Noticeable relief will occur within 3 to 7 days.
              12. 3. Garlic tincture. To prepare it you will need several heads of garlic. The peeled slices should be crushed into a paste, poured with vodka in a ratio of 1:3 and left in a dark place for a week.
              13. Varicose veins occur in every fourth modern person. The causes of the disease may be the following:

              14. venous insufficiency;
              15. work on feet;
              16. excess weight;
              17. incorrect daily routine;
              18. stress.
              19. With varicose veins, numbness is accompanied by a feeling of heaviness in the legs, burning in the veins, and swelling, especially in the evening. Cramps may occur at night. The veins in the leg area are enlarged, stretched and lose elasticity.

                Varicose veins must be treated under the supervision of a doctor, otherwise severe complications such as acute thrombophlebitis, trophic ulcers, and thromboembolism are possible. All these consequences occur due to stagnation of blood in the veins, which, in turn, leads to its coagulation and the formation of blood clots. In severe cases, doctors have to prescribe surgery, so it is better to monitor the disease from the moment it occurs and not start treatment.

                Traditional medicine offers several effective ways to combat varicose veins at the initial stage:

              20. 1. Freshly squeezed juices. Vegetable juices are rich in vitamins and microelements, they saturate the body with antioxidants, prevent the loss of elasticity of the walls of blood vessels and the formation of plaques. A mixture of carrot and spinach juice in a ratio of 10:6 is recommended; a mixture of carrot juice, raw beets and celery in a ratio of 10:3:3; juice of parsley, watercress and spinach in a ratio of 4:2:2.

              The juice should be prepared before direct consumption, since beneficial substances are destroyed upon contact with air within 30-40 minutes. At the initial stage of varicose veins, it is recommended to consume about 500 ml of juices daily.

            • 2. Horse chestnut tincture. To prepare it you will need 50 g of horse chestnut flowers, 500 ml of alcohol or vodka. The drug is infused for 14 days in a dark place, and the bottle should be shaken daily. After this, you need to pass the tincture through a strainer and consume 1 tbsp. l., diluting with water. The drug should be taken for a week, then take a break for 2 weeks. To consolidate the result, 3 or more courses will be required.
            • During treatment, it is necessary to stop drinking alcohol and tobacco, as this worsens the condition of blood vessels and aggravates the course of the disease. In addition, excessive exercise, heavy lifting, and wearing high-heeled shoes should be avoided whenever possible.

              Complex treatment includes:

            • blood thinning drugs, for example Curantil, Cardiomagnyl, Trental;
            • venotonic drugs, for example Troxevasin, Antistax;
            • anti-inflammatory drugs, such as Diclofenac.

            To prescribe the right course of treatment, you must consult a doctor. The specialist will also help you choose a set of exercises for proper muscle tone in the legs and feet and prescribe an appropriate diet to control cholesterol levels.

            Numbness of the toes in diabetes is associated with the occurrence of nerve damage, which subsequently leads to the development of ulcers, “diabetic foot”, and gangrene.

            With diabetic damage, after numbness there is a feeling of cold, followed by a sharp burning sensation and painful tingling. If you often feel something similar, you need to see a doctor and get your blood sugar tested.

            The fight against the disease must begin immediately, otherwise the consequences may be irreversible. You need to carefully monitor the hygiene of your feet and toes, wash your feet daily with soap and then rub them dry. You should trim your toenails at least once a week and file the corners to prevent skin damage, ingrown toenails, and infection.

            It is necessary to moisturize the skin with creams and lotions, but steaming your feet is contraindicated for diabetes. You should wear socks and shoes only made from natural materials and strictly follow all the instructions of your doctor.

            When a nerve is pinched, the toes on the left or right side go numb, depending on the location of the lesion. In addition, symptoms indicating nerve damage may include:

          • coldness in the affected limb;
          • excessive sweating;
          • instability when walking.
          • Subsequently, sharp pain appears, stiffness in movement, and inability to step on the leg. Neuralgia develops, accompanied by a local increase in temperature in the affected area. Muscle spasms are possible.

            For proper treatment, you need to see a neurologist. Pain, numbness and discomfort in the legs can be relieved using traditional methods:

          • 1. Baths with herbal decoctions. Calamus, thyme, and oak bark are considered good remedies. Recommended infusions include black elderberry, nettle, hops, thyme and black currant leaves. Special attention should be paid to coniferous baths: juniper, pine buds, and spruce bark are suitable. The temperature of the baths should be moderate, not higher than 37-38°C, the duration of the procedure is about 30 minutes.
          • 2. Infusions. They are prepared for both external and internal use. An infusion of lingonberry leaves is suitable for internal use: 1 tsp. leaves are poured into 1.5 cups of boiling water, left for an hour and drunk 3 times a day, half a glass.
          • 3. For neuralgia, a decoction of fragrant celery roots will help: 1 tbsp. l. Infuse celery roots in 500 ml of boiling water for 4 hours, strain and consume a third of a glass 3 times a day before meals.
          • 4. As an anesthetic for external use, a tincture of mullein or lilac flowers is recommended. A glass of mullein flowers is poured into 1 liter of vodka, left for a week and rubbed into the sore spot. To prepare a lilac tincture you will need 50 g of flowers and 500 ml of alcohol.
          • 5. You can use an infusion of wormwood. To do this, you will need to infuse 1 tbsp in 350 ml of boiling water. l. wormwood inflorescences for 3 hours and rub the affected area before bed.

        It should be remembered that the toes go numb when hernias occur in the lumbar and cruciate spine, stenosis of the lumbar canal, microstrokes, neuromas (tumors of the peripheral nerves). In these cases, self-medication is not recommended; you should consult a doctor.

        Remember: if numbness occurs frequently and lasts a long time, accompanied by unbearable pain, do not hesitate - contact a specialist.
