Calling Dr. House: What could cause this itchy foot?!
Question: My daughter has 'one' foot that itches. We have been to a dermatoligist and a pediatrist, no athletes foot or other fungus, nothing they could find. Did broad spectrum antibiotic and it still happens. She sleeps with her foot out of the covers and a fan on it that seem to help. Any idea's what more we can look into? It has been almost two years this has been going on. She is sixteen.

it could be nerve damage. Has she ever injured it?
You could try a place like "webMD.com" and see what they say about it when you put in what she's got... You could also try foot powder?
I'm not sure.
Good luck with her foot!!
-S.
She might think about seeing a haematologist about that.
