Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red itchy rashes all over the feet. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like poor and compromised immunity of body, contact dermatitis can be caused by coming into contact with chemicals and poisonous plants, sensitivity to sunlight, side effects of certain medicines and psoriasis and allergic reaction. Need not to worry. You should take plenty of fluids on daily basis. Yes it could be due to repeated vein treatments as well. I would suggest you to maintain proper personal hygiene, take zyrtec one a day and apply cold compresses to reduce the itchiness and inflammation. Consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test , test for allergy and physical examination. Doctor may prescribe corticosteroid ointment, antibiotics , anti inflammatory and immunosuppressants .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
