Itching and pimple-like eruptions on the soles of the feet may be caused by tinea pedis (athlete’s foot), which is primarily due to a fungal infection. However, other conditions—such as eczema or dyshidrotic eczema—may also produce similar symptoms, including small, itchy bumps on the soles. If you experience such symptoms, it is recommended that you visit the dermatology department of a reputable Grade-A tertiary hospital for proper evaluation and treatment.
