Tops of my feet get hot and unbearably itchy!

I have the same thing, or very similar. My sensations are tingling & burning more so than itching and it is in the area of the front of my lower ankles and the tops of my feet. I think it is a form of "peripheral neuropathy", or nerve damage. You might try doing an internet search on this term and see if it sounds like your situation and then ask your doc about it. There are treatments if they can determine the cause. I'm just living with mine and sometimes using one of those roll-on pain relievers (like Icy Hot) with Lidocaine added to numb the area. It definitely helps for awhile. Good luck!

My feet only itch at night, usually around the same time at night when they do itch. It is not every night either. Only one foot itches at a time and it is only the top and side where the ankle is. Very strange. The itching comes on suddenly and it feels like a bad case of dermatitis. The itching goes away after about 1 hour. I use a brillo pad to itch my foot when it happens. My foot gets really hot too, even if I do not itch it at all. I cannot figure out what causes this.
