How To Get Rid Of Pin Holes Around Ankle And Back Of Heel?
Hi, for some time now I've had small little pin holes around my ankle and around the back of my heel. They don't itch and my feet don't smell. My mom has them too. She tells me not to pick at them or they will spread. I picked at one and it was like white stuff coming out it wasn't pusy though. What is this? Can i get rid of it?
Hello, Thanks for the query, You might be suffering from pitted keratolysis. It is an infection caused by corynebacteria. I usually advice fusidic acid cream to my patients and they get good relief with that. You can try this cream. Try to maintain hygiene of feet. A photograph would have helped me better. Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis. Let me know if you have any other doubt. you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link. http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-rahul-kumar/64818 Wishing you a good health.
