I am disabled so cant look under my toes but I have felt them and between the toes and up the sides are clusters of small blisters, like heat blisters. My feet or foot has been very sweaty lately with the hot weather. I was wearing crocks but have stopped in case I was alergic to the anti bacteria coating. When wearing the crocks my feel are soaking wet and go white like they have been in water.
I do appreciate any help that anyone can give me.
Dawn|||i developed the same thing last year and my doctor wasnt sure what it was but it was loads of little prickly blisters in between my second and third toes on my left foot.it came out of nowhere and it was very sore.as fast as i popped the blisters they formed again right away.
my doctor gave me a cream called TRIMOVATE which contains cortisone and an antibiotic and my toes were fully recovered within a few days.
the only diagnosis that the doctor could give me was possible eczema but as i have never suffered this ever it was unlikely.
i also am disabled and suffer from sweaty feet so maybe it is linked to that.
after using the TRIMOVATE i have not had any more problems.|||You really do need to see your doctor, it could be some infectoion that needs a special treatment like scabies.
The mite burrows into the skin, especially around the hands, feet, and male genitalia. It does not usually affect the neck and head, although it may in infants.
The itching is due to an allergic reaction to the tiny mites, and is associated with a rash of red, raised spots. The itch is worse at night, and may often affect more than one family member|||see a chiropodist being disabled it could be a few things they see a number of foot complaints so they will tell you what they recomend best of luck|||I get these too and on my hands.
I have been to the drs but had various opinions as to what it is. But some type of dermantitus seems to be the general consensus.
I use Eurax cream and it brings almost instant relief. You might be able to get it on prescription or something similar.|||It really does sound like athletes foot, which thrives in warm, damp conditions where the skin can%26#039;t breathe. I know half the country is wearing crocs, but they are impossibly bad for your feet.
Firstly, they are impervious; in other words, perspiration can%26#039;t escape; secondly, they have no support at all for your feet, hips and spine. I know everyone thinks they are really comfortable, but they are just a more expensive version of %26quot;jelly shoes%26quot; that we wore as kids to the beach.
If it%26#039;s a wet type of blister, you need to leave the socks aside, and stop wearing the crocs for the moment. The best thing would be open toed leather sandals, if you can manage it, and go to your pharmacist; I honestly think you DO have ahtlete%26#039;s foot.|||I would advise you to get a damp cloth and put a touch of after shave and rub on blister it may sting a little it should heal after a week and do this twice a day if it doesn%26#039;t work try elocon ointment cream apply that once a day for a week also if that doesn%26#039;t work please go see a Doctor|||Sounds like trench foot to me, just give them plenty of air and use a fungicidal foot powder.

I have just bought some Canestan AF cream, it says it treats athletes foot and JOCK ITCH, what is that.?
I was told to get some for psoriasis of the groin, will this do me any harm being so close to such a delicate place.|||The %26quot;AF%26quot; in this stands for %26quot;antifungal%26quot; which is why this treats both athlete%26#039;s foot and jock itch, both of which are fungus infections in different places. Since this brand is listed for use in both areas, it should not be a problem with the more delicate areas. (Some athlete%26#039;s foot creams and preparations might be too harsh to use in the genital area, but this one is labelled for both.)
The doctor may think your psoriasis is complicated with a bit of this fungal infection or may be trying to prevent one. Perhaps there are even studies showing that an antifungal might help with psoriasis, which is not normally considered an infectious process. But the psoriasis lesion and the itching and scratching increase the risk of getting infections.
The groin is also a moist area, and likely sweaty feet, this is a good environment for yeast and other funguses to grow. Keeping this area dry can help reduce the risk.|||put some on|||First of all, let me reassure you that rubbing Canestan AF (an anti-fungal cream) into your groin will do you no harm whatsoever.
Athletes foot is tinea pedis, Jock itch (an American term for fungal infection of the groin) is tinea cruris. As you can see from the first part of their names, they are related conditions ... both fungal infections. (They like moist areas of the body.)|||In UK we put it up our (female parts) so no wont do you any harm
Jock Itch LMAO so American..........|||It will be perfect for such a delicate area|||its an anti fungal cream jock itch is thrush as it atheletes foot, it wont really do a lot for you psoriasis to be honest, a bit of e45 cream should do the trick

Lamisil cream isn't curing my athlete's foot!?
I%26#039;ve been using lamisil twice a day for about 3 weeks as the doctor prescribed and directed but it isn%26#039;t working! I try to keep my feet as dry and clean as possible and have been wearing flip flops.
I know this is disgusting but the skin is peeling, it hurts and it%26#039;s sort of spreading to my other toe so now i%26#039;m just gopping on tons of cream and rubbing it in with q-tips. UGH, I%26#039;m so embarassed!
What do I do now?
How do I prevent it from spreading?
It%26#039;s ugly looking! lol|||Tinactin Antifungal Athlete%26#039;s Foot Cream has Tolnaftate 1% in it. If it works for you you should notice a change within 24 hours. If there isn%26#039;t a change in 48 hours I would talk with the Doctor. For some reason Lamisil is not effective on your fungus. People seem to think that lamisil is a cure all but not in all cases. If it was working you would have noticed some improvement by now.

Were the people that made Aftate.|||Persevere for another couple of weeks or so and if it doesn%26#039;t work you will have to try something else. You could try something like goldenseal ointments, garlic cream, or coconut oil as a natural alternative remedy. Both of these have antifungal properties. There is also tea tree oil, which you can use concentrated on the feet but if the skin is broken it is best to dilute in a cream base.
Here is a list of some herbal alternatives:

Good luck. It might take time to clear but persevere. You are taking all the right precautions form what you have wrote.
Best wishes.|||Ask your doctor if you can take antifungal oral medications as well.|||Use Gold Bond Powder, works great|||Look for a spray or cream with Tolnaftate 1%.
My favorite brand of fungus spray and gel was Aftate. They discontinued the product but it might still be in the store. Tolnaftate worked for me when Lamisil didn%26#039;t. There are other brands, some generic that have Tolnaftate in them.
It could be that you might need an Oral antifungal medication. If you don%26#039;t stop the fungus it could get in the nails. When the fungus gets in the skin you might need an oral medication.

Is E45 cream good for treating dry skin on feet ?
Would E45 cream help to get rid of dry skin on feet ?
Has anyone tried ?|||Yes. I%26#039;ve been using E45 cream for probably 20 years now, and even though I%26#039;ve tried other emollients I%26#039;ve found that E45 has worked best for me.|||although E45 would be an effective treatment for your dry feet, the best way to get rid of the malice i think its called that builds up on your feet is to get a foot rub to rub off all of the old hard skin rather than trying to make it softer|||E45 is pretty good. I really like Neutrogena hand cream though. It%26#039;s much thicker than E45 and I find using a pumice stone in the bath and rubbing a bit on afterwards stops all the dry skin completely.|||Yes, I haven%26#039;t tried but it is definite good for the whole body and this includes feet^^|||Yer my stepbrother always uses that stuff

The soles of my feet are cracky and dry. What cream to use?
Is reflexology helpful or just makes dry feet worse?|||You can use a cream called Eucerin. It%26#039;s easily found in drug stores. You will want the cream that comes in a white jar (unless they switched packaging) vs. the lotion that comes in a tube or bottle.
Good old Vaseline is great too.
Apply the cream at night and wrap your feet w/ plastic wrap (sounds funny, but works) Place socks over the plastic wrap to insure maximum absorption, the plastic and socks help hold in heat.
You will want to do this every so often even when your skin has healed to prevent it from recurring.
Get a pumice stone to remove excess skin on a regular basis. Be sure to soak feet @ least twice a month to ensure softness and moisturize feet daily after bathing to keep soft, clean and healthy.|||soak ur feet in a warm water 4 20 mins n apply vaseline b4 u sleep everyday.u can do some massages too.|||I had cracky and dry feet for many years and tried different creams. These helped and soothed, but only temporary. When I was (for something unrelated) at my doctor, I asked for a %26#039;stronger%26#039; cream. She gave me some pills and within 3-4 days my feet were as soft as a baby skin and are now for years. It might be a fungus and medicine kills it, while creams only release some of the pain and itching.|||Vaseline is good. If this is not helping, you may start with %26#039;bag balm%26#039;. Ask at the prescription counter. All the lotions would not cure the cracks till I started this product. It is as sticky as vaseline, so you may want to take care of wrapping around, so the floor/bedsheets etc. are protected. Once it improved after daily use, I slowly increased the intervals between the usage. Now I use once a month or so. Also, in between all the other lotions/creams that did not work before, works
now. You also need to follow other suggestions, like soaking feet, removing excess etc.
Good Luck.|||Use Krack. Its in medical stores for the cracks in your heels|||you can buy a cream called NS-8 from the chemist,
I used to get badly cracked heels in summer but since
I started using it they dont crack, even when I go bare
foot all the time|||keep you feet clean and dry in use vasoline, this should help them

I have of putting on my shoes on my right foot been to the dr about 3 or 4weeks ago and have antifungal cream?
Soak your feet in warm sea salt water for few days. Make sure you rinse it off and dry your feet. If not get some of the heat powder for your feet.
The other 2 grotesque suggestion is to pee on your feet or soak in vinegar.|||What is it you actually want to know as I don%26#039;t get what the question is.?
