[|Human|] The soles of my beet have been itching for about a month. They did it back in April or May. I also have been having a sore lower back and some crawly feelings on my heals. I have some bulging and herniated disk showing on MRIs in 2009. Could this be causing my feet to itch?
[|AI|]  Hello!  Welcome on Chat Doctor !  It is less likely that your symptoms are related to the bulging disc. Anyway, I would like to know if you have any skin changes in the feet. What is your past medical history? Do you suffer from diabetes? Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your GP for a physical exam and some tests:- complete blood count-blood electrolytes- uric acid plasma levels-vitamin B12 plasma levels- a nerve conduction study for peripheral neuropathy. In case of skin changes, consulting with a dermatologist would help exclude a possible allergic reaction or a fungal infection.  Hope you will find this information helpful! Best regards!
