Have Itchy Puss Filled Bumps Between The Toes. Itch Until They Burst. Clear Puss Oozes Out. Cure For Symptoms?

Hey doc. I have these itchy puss filled bumps that come on my feet not necessarily the bottom sometimes sides and between the toes as well. They itch until they bust. With nasty clear puss oozing out that feels soothing but shortly after the pain comes and the exposure of rawness of the flesh. Wondering where this is coming from.

Hello and welcome to HCM,

Presence of itchy pus filled bumps on feet suggest infection between the toes and at the sides of the feet.
Drainage of the pus will provide symptomatic relief.
However, the underlying cause has to be treated.
A clinical examination is mandatory.
Topical application of anti-biotic ointment along with oral antibiotics is required.
A pus culture can be done to determine the causative organism causing the infection.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja P Wahal
