Itchy Feet After Walking Barefoot Outside?
Every single time I walk outside barefoot, whether it's five minutes or an hour,
on sand, dirt, rocks or grass, wet or dry, my feet will itch unbearably soon after and won't stop unless
I soak them in hot water and scrub them.
Even then, that sometimes doesn't work.
I barely ever walk outside without socks or shoes and this is why.
I do not have athlete's foot or any fungal infection as it only occurs after walking outside barefoot.
There are no bumps or any sign of anything except redness where I've been scratching.
Can someone please tell me what is going on?!

It could be that maybe you don't have enough callouses, which prevent you from hurting your feet when walking. I have felt that when walking on grass, because grass has tiny thorns on its blades that gives you microscopic cuts that itch whenever you touch it, that happened to me often while running barefoot in grass. It isn't bad, just annoying. Or sometimes if you have allergies and the pollen counts are high, that might irritate you. When your feet get yellowish green on the bottom, that's from pollen. As for the other surfaces, it might just be because they are rougher.

I have the same problem after walking in wet grass. It is almost unbearable. I saw something recenlty about soaking feet in vinegar, but now I can t find that site again. I feel your pain. It s awful! I and my three kids all have the same problem. Dry grass is ok, but wet grass is a killer! The itching and burning last several days!
