Is It Safe To Use Hydrocortisone To Treat Itching And Dark Spots On Foot?

I walked on grass two years ago and the skin under my foot at the heel began to itch and it didn t stop. I went to a hospital and they gave hydrocortisone which did not do anything. Now there are dark spots around the area that itches and it is so bad. There is a visible swelling which is a little darker than the rest of the skin too. The itching is really disturbing. Please help

I really appreciate your concern, such skin itching could be due to fungal infection and it can be managed with "Miconazole cream" apply this on affected area three times in day and be patience because this may take some time to come around, hope this information helps, take care and have nice day.
