*Gross picture alert* - What's this on my foot??

[MankyFootAlert]

I've NC for this so this manky picture doesn't follow me around 🤣

I get athletes foot every now and then and the spray usually works. I have this lumpy thing now under what I think was another patch of athletes foot and peeled my foot away - is this just mega athletes foot or something else??

Have your shoes been rubbing you or have you had wet feet with shoes or sandals on? It looks a bit fungal, I'd go and show it to the chemist.

I call it polyplops, but that's not its name! Daktacort hydrocortisone and anti fungal cream will do it. The blisters can get incredibly itchy.

I have this, doctor told me it is a type of eczema, I only get it in the summer and have to use a prescription steroid cream for it.

Looks like pompholyx eczema to me. Is it itchy? Pompholyx is usually very itchy.

Interesting, I've never had any sort of exzema before! Yes very itchy. The dry patch came out of nowhere and has settled a bit. Have been using the anti fungal spray but may send a pic over to the GP. Lucky them!

The photo I had to send was much worse 🙈 don't worry they're trained to wait until they hang up the phone before saying ewwww 😅 My doctor didn't believe I was able to walk on it. But it's not usually painful, just itchy.

I have this but on my hands
Consultant prescribed tacrolimus ointment for it - steroid creams don't have any effect
I have cycles of attacks - usually after washing my hands too much (yay covid!)

Pomphylx eczema. I thought I had really bad athletes foot for years and then discovered it was this. Mine is worse when I wear birkenstocks
