Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My partner has had a non-itchy rash appear on her left foot. It started about a month ago on the middle of the sole and seemed to swell her big toe a little bit. We went to the doctors and he was unsure what it was, put it down to being dermatitis and gave her some steroid cream to put on it. While the rash on her sole seemed to fade it is spreading around her foot and the side of her big toe (even though she's been putting cream there). We went to the doctors again and a different doctor was on - she put it down to being athlete's foot and prescribed her some cream which she has only just started. The thing that concerns me though is it doesn't seem to look like athlete's foot (I could be wrong) but more so there is no itchiness and pain whatsoever. I just wanted to get another medical opinion as I don't want to risk it being something worse.
The photos are unfortunately poor quality however they do show some of it. The rash itself looks a bit shiny and has a bit of scaliness and clusters of red spots seem to be the dominant feature.
She hasn't been doing anything different or eating anything different so we don't think it's an allergic reaction. It's been there for over a month now and just want to make sure it's not signs/symptoms of something else.
Thank you so much for your time!
