You should see your doctor as soon as possible to have the spot checked, especially since a dark or changing lesion may indicate a serious condition, such as a fungal or bacterial infection. Avoid scratching it or using any over-the-counter creams until your doctor has examined it, so you receive the correct treatment for your specific skin issue.

I'm sorry to hear about the itching and the spot on your foot. Itching accompanied by a red or black spot could be due to several causes such as an allergic reaction, insect bite, fungal infection, or even a minor skin injury.

Here are some general steps you can follow for relief:

  • Keep the area clean and dry. Wash gently with mild soap and water.
  • Avoid scratching to prevent further irritation or infection.
  • Apply a cool compress to reduce itching and inflammation.
  • Over-the-counter antihistamines like levocetirizine (an anti-allergic medication) may help reduce itching if it is allergy-related. However, these should be taken only after consulting a doctor.
  • Avoid irritants such as harsh soaps, detergents, or tight footwear.

Since the spot is red or black and persistent, it is important to have it evaluated by a dermatologist (skin specialist). They can examine the lesion closely, possibly perform tests if needed, and provide a precise diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

If you notice worsening symptoms such as increased pain, swelling, spreading redness, discharge, or fever, seek medical attention promptly.
