What Causes Tiny Boils On Feet?
A few months back tiny boils appeared on my both feet and they spread upto my knees. Skin specialist said it is due to allergy and prescribed some tablets for a week and CLONATE F cream - most of the boils are gone. But they reappear here and there - it is like hide and seek. Apply the cream, they vanish, reappear in a day or two. now mostly they appear at the edge of the nails and skin. While writing this I applied Clonate F. What could be the problem.

Hi
It may be sort of allergy. It may be called contact allergic dermatitis. You should find out the allergens which are responsible for the disease and should be avoided in contact or diet. I would recommend you to apply mild steroid cream whenever the lesions occur. Take a course of antibiotic,antihistaminics and if needed steroids in tapering dose.
Hope this helps.
