Brief Answer:
? Frictional Blisters
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Greetings.
I noted your additional history.
I have seen the clinical pictures attached in your other query ( Answered by Dr. XXXXXXX Hiremath) as the images are not seen on my page.
I do not see much redness on her foot. There are 2-3 small blisters with clear fluid and no pus.
From your additional history, I would consider the possibility of Friction induced blisters possibly from the sandals.
You could apply an antibiotic cream containing 2 % Mupirocin twice a day for about 5 days so as to prevent infection.
Please make sure she wears soft footwear which do not cause friction especially in the affected area.
If she develops a fever or if the foot appears swollen/ red, it would suggest an infection. She would need an oral antibiotic like Amoxycillin or Cephalexin for 3-5 days.
Insect bites could also present with blisters. However, they have redness around the blisters and respond to topical hydrocortisone. Since it has not responded, I would possibly rule it out.
Hope this helps you.
If you have any more queries, I will be glad to answer.
Take care.
