Suggest Remedy For Toe Blister/bumps
This is something very small. I have very dry, thick, flaky skin on the back of one of my toes (the one next to my big toe) - it doesn t itch On left hand side of the same toe I have 4 very small dark red blister type bumps about the size of a pinhead, they don t itch either, and they are in a straight line. They loook like they have scabs on the top of the blisters, but they don t, the skin is just darker there. I tried Eumovate & it didn t seem to help. Neither of the toes on either side are affected. Any ideas please?

Hello,
Blisters are most often caused by skin being damaged by friction or heat. Certain blisters heal naturally after three to seven days and don't require medical attention. It's important to avoid bursting the blister, because this could lead to an infection or slow down the healing process. If the blister does burst, don't peel off the dead skin.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
