Have Swollen Toes,itching And Pain In Ankles. Home Remedies?
Hi, My toes are swollen. Initially it was just one figure but now it has increased to both the toes. There is lot if itching and of the ankle is paining a lot. This started some 1 week before but I thought this may be due to some other thing. The pain and itching is more in the night as compared to the day. Any home treatment advise will be helpful.

The condition can be allergic contact dermatitis,gout, tinea pedis etc.
You can apply 1% hydrocortisone cream over the area.
Also you can apply good quality moisturizer over the area or you can apply coconut oil over the affected area.For swelling foot elevation can be tried.Also you can use tab paracetamol for pain.
hope this helps.
