Thank you doctor for answering me. All my toes have the same problem.My small toes have sometimes open wounds but still all the rest of the toes burn & red.the symptoms are continuous. The aggravating factors: my toes by themselves become too hot, burning & painful. I can't wear nor put anything on my feet.it could be the whole day or the whole week.I have to put Mupirocin all the time and soft kleenex tissue to move around the house & still painful to walk. Sometimes i see some blisters coming out. The relieving factors is to cool them off & use Mupirocin but the problem they keep coming back within one day or two days.My toes do swell when i have the symptoms, become very hot, burning, painful and tingling.At night, i can't sleep with the pain; they become worse if i don't put the medicine.
Hi,
Thanks for answering my questions.
Based on the information provided, I suspect you may have eczema with superadded recurrent bacterial infections.
Definitive treatment for such lesions is by steroid ointments ones containing Clobetasol propionate or Hydrocortisone. It is advisable to apply Mupirocin when you see raw surface after the blisters open up.
Keeping the affected part dry is another essential requirement for the lesions to heal.
Hope, I answered your query.
Please let me know if there are any other concerns.
