Red Pimply Rash In Left Toe, Spreading Across Foot, Slightly Paining, Discoloration. Something Fell On Foot. Suggestions?
Dry skin red pimply rash started at my left small toe and spreading across top of foot. Thought athletes foot at first but spray did not work. I slightly recall dropping something on foot (doing yard work) but not exactly sure. At base of small toe on top could be a bug bite but again not sure. Also there is a small amount of pain when pressure put on small toe. Some discoloration (black n blue) but that goes away. Any suggestions?

Hi,
It seems that the rash on left toe would be either acrodermatitis or allergic contact dermatitis.
There may be some cause.
It may be dust,grass,fertiliser,soap,water,leather,plastic or other.
Steroids in tappering dose,antibiotics and antihistaminics would behelpful to improve the disease.
Local steroid witH antibiotic cream may improve the lesions.
Doubtful cause should be removed.
Avoid soap contact.
Avoid stress.
You will get improvement.
Still, consult dermatologist.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
