I have a horrible itchy infection on my feet....

I think it is scabies. DH says not.

Small Bumps with clear liquid, some red.

Between toes and on sole.

Help!

I think scabies has a black dot in the middle of each bump

WhipWhipCrackAway · 04/06/2017 12:04

Bloody awful!

So itchy and unsightly.

Scabies usually less localised surely?

StealthPolarBear · 04/06/2017 12:05

Pharmacies will be open today I'd ask someone to take a look

WhipWhipCrackAway · 04/06/2017 12:05

Had not thought about a pharmacy. Duh! Will go there now.

Hope you get some answers

JennyOnAPlate · 04/06/2017 12:08

Athletes foot I would have thought. I hope the pharmacist can help.

user1483617032 · 04/06/2017 12:11

that looks like dyshidrotic eczema to me. I have it. I have also had scabies once and had no idea how i got that but it had a small hole in the middle.

WhipWhipCrackAway · 04/06/2017 12:21

What makes me suspect scabies is that DH has the same thing in his feet! So it is clearly summat contagious....

I think it's athletes foot

StealthPolarBear · 04/06/2017 12:25

Athletes foot is contagious I think

user1483617032 · 04/06/2017 12:25

Are you both letting air to your feet during this hot weather?

user1483617032 · 04/06/2017 12:30

Athletes foot is contagious especially if you're walking barefoot around house, particles on bed sheets and towels. But it's defo not scabies. i suggest wearing flipflops during day and thin socks to bed.

Pompholyx?

WhipWhipCrackAway · 04/06/2017 12:47

I also bought a pair of 4 quid ballet flats in Tesco the other day. Pure man made crap. Every evening my feet are whiffy and now I am thinking they are probably not helping the athlete's foot situation!

We get this. Not infection, not scabies. It's an irritation from heat. Fiendishly itchy, with blisters which can be quiet deep. We sometimes burst the blister to relieve the itching. If you do not itch it at all it will go down a bit, but tends to come back.

We keep our hands and feet really well moisturised and use hydrocortisone when it flares up. I get it on my fingers too.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 04/06/2017 13:02

Pickle- sounds like pompolyx and is caused by an allergy to soap or shampoo or the like . Easily got rid of with some cream from the GP- Timovate I think is what it's called.

picklemepopcorn · 04/06/2017 13:56

Really Dame? I've reduced almost all products now, and still have it. Actually, my feet are much better, maybe it's the hand soap...

We went to the GP about it years ago, and he was no help. Perhaps time for a revisit...

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 04/06/2017 16:54

Mine is triggered by hand wash. Apparently hair dressers get it a lot.

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 04/06/2017 16:56

Looks like heat rash to me. Itches like hell and your sweaty ballet flats won't have helped.

Keep cool, use an anti histamine and get some breathable shoes.

WhipWhipCrackAway · 04/06/2017 18:19

Thank you for the advice and sincere apols for that hanging photo of my scabby foot.

I'd agree with dishydrotic eczema. Get some hydrocortisone from the pharmacy to try.
