Suggest Treatment For Rashes On The Foot And Swollen Ankles
top of each toe and top of foot red with rash blisters on toes. redness goes all the way up mid shin with ankle swollen., actually the whole foot is swollen too. patient doesn t remember any trauma or insect bite. 9 year old has been swimming in neighbors pool prior to noticing rash
This seems a typical case of cellulitis. It is important that the patient is started on antibiotics that cover especially staphylococcus as staphylococcus infections are the most common cause of cellulitis and also given that he has blisters, staphylococcus infection is very likely.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
