Red bumps that itch and get bigger - Foot Problems Message Board

So I had a bunch of red bumps on one of my toes, they were red, and itchy... that toe cleared up and is healing (Scaling and the like)... now another toe has a growing red itchy bump on it, it does seem to grow when I wear my shoes - I think it's athlete's foot. .. but I'm not sure. I've had it before, but it went away in a few months. Any idea what it could be? I can't find anything that looks like it online, athlete's foot seems to be more of a rash than bumps.

Possibly chillblains, if it afflicts your toes only in winter.

Athlete's foot is more between the toes than on them, usually.

Chilblains itch?

They sure do! They are itchy round bumps. Mine used to be on my toes, especially the tops. Carefully and slowly warming my feet when they're cold helps avoid them (even before taking a hot shower, even if I'm inside, sometimes!)
