What Causes Large Blood Blisters On Right Toe?

Posted on Tue, 5 Apr 2016

Question: My right large toe and the adjacent toe have large blood blisters on the bottom. My wife noticed them today. They only show on the bottom. Do you know what might have caused this?

Brief Answer:
Diabetes blisters

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Such unnoticed blisters usually happen in diabetes.
I advice you to get blood sugar levels checked.
Apply an antibacterial cream like mupirocine.
This will prevent development of secondary infection.
If possible upload a photograph of the involved area.
This will help me in giving a closer diagnosis.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you.
