Child Has Blisters On Foot And Fever. Taken Prednisone. What Doctor To See?
My question has to do with my granddaughter. She broke out with blisters on the top of her right foot and had a fever in the 100s. My son and daughter in law took her to the hospital and they were told that she has a virus. Now she has places on her left foot and my daughter in law took her to her family doctor. He said he doesn't know exactly what it is. They had a foot doctor look at it and he has no idea what it is. They wanted to put her on prednisone but my daughter in law refused because she had been on it about 2 times before this. What kind of doctor should they ask to see her? They are taking her to the hospital again and I just wondered what specialist should they ask to see her.

Hi,
From history it seems that this is a case of Dermatologist.
Consult him and get examined.
He will go for diagnosis of lesion and then treatment can be started.
Ok and take care.
