What does it mean when the bottom of your right foot itches?

When the bottom of your feet itch, it may mean that your feet are relatively dirty. It may also mean an allergic reaction to rubber soles in tennis shoes. It could also point back to your socks. If your socks are dyed, the color dye may cause your feet to itch. Also, it is rare, but if you are wearing socks for a long amount of time, and they start to itch, it may mean "fuzzies" from the socks are embedding in the creases in your feet, which cause the tiny pores in the creases of your feet to not be able to keep airing out. If this is what your case is, I highly recommend either ridding of the fuzz in your feet by (and this may sound weird) removing your sock and picking out as much fuzz as you can. As you can see for some socks, it does stick in the creases of your feet. Or to make time go by faster, rub your foot and most of it will come off.

Another reason why your feet may itch is because you might have been in dirtier water with shoes and small parasites might affect your feet. Just keep your feet clean and dry and you should be okay!

Why do you itch all over everytime after showering?

It's because you probably have dry skin. Once you get out of the shower and your body absorbs all of the moisture, your skin gets dry and your natural movements cause the dry skin to stretch. This is what causes that itchy sensation. A quick remedy to that is investing in a good deep moisturizing lotion. Apply the lotion while your skin is still slightly damp. You'll notice a huge difference...trust me.

Is it possible to have Shingles with no pain and no itching?

I highly doubt it. I have had shingles since I was 19 and I'm now 43. They get worse and more painful the older that I get. If it is shingles, you will have nerve pain around the affected area and the nerve pain is excrutiating and basic Advil/Ibuprofen will not ease the pain. Also, when the rash is present, it will itch something fierce. It is possible you have something else if it doesn't itch or cause you pain.

What does it mean if your anus itches really bad?

If it has been itching for some time, you may have thread worms or pin worms (or some other small parasites). These come out at night for a little fresh air (well, to lay eggs really) and this causes itching. It's easy to catch eggs under your fingernails that end up in your mouth and you infect yourself again. These are not really serious, just annoying. Medication can kill the worms but not the eggs, so you have to repeat the dose a couple of weeks later when the eggs hatch again. All the family have to be treated at the same time.
