What Is The Treatment For Itching And Blisters Around The Toe After Qtip Acid Treatment?
I had a procedure done on my toe where they did the qtip acid thing and one of my toes got infected. I am currently taking antibiotics Bacterium or something like that and now my toe itches bad and there's little blisters around my toe and spreading to the toe next to it. It's been going on for awhile on and off and since the procedure I've been having knee pain and swelling on the same leg as my infected toe. I've been to the ER twice and they don't ever do anything they act like it isn't that bad, I live in a rural area though so idk how great these Drs are. My primary doctor just glances at it and says I need to see a podiatrist but I've been waiting for over a month for the referral so I'm lost now and want to give up. I spend 100 every time I go to the ER and 25 for office visits and I haven't gotten any help please help me out if I could post a picture I would, and I don't know if it matters or not but I don't ever have a fever or anything.

Hello friend,
I read your query and understood your situation.
As per your description, it seems like that you are having a condition known as cellulitis.
It is the infection of deeper tissue of skin which present like redness and swelling of the involved part and associated pain and tenderness.
This condition requires prompt treatment.
But before starting treatment, one really need to be sure about the diagnosis so that correct trteatment is given.
SO, i will advice you to consult at higher centre or send me a pic of the lesions so that i can really visualize it and help you further.
Thanx
