A month ago I was on holiday and a combination of sandals and red hot weather has done this to my foot
What do I do?
My toe is so painful

Have your feet been wet for an extended time ?

I would go to a pharmacist, it looks like it's wet or there's been too much moisture for too long. Could be a fungus infection or similar which needs treatment from pharmacy?

agree with the recommendations for a pharmacist - looks like a really Bad fungal infection eg athletes foot but reallly bad x hope
it feels better soon!!

I've just got out of the bath when I took this pic
Basically I wore a pair of sandals in red hot temperature that were really hurting my feet and burning them
Then this happened

I assumed it was just dry skin
Now I'm panicking

Oh my days, sorry op, that is bad 🥴. Get help! Pharmacy

It looks like burn blisters that have burst and then gone like that from the bath. A pharmacist won't be able to do much. I would book a podiatrist appointment and see what they say.

Leprosy

I would say fungal as well. It looks very sore.

Pharmacy first but they might refer you to GP for a stronger prescription.

I’d agree it’s burst burn blisters if it happened after red hot sandals. Sunacream and wear socks until healed.

Leprosy

😂😂😂

Get the to a podiatrist, they will be able to advise and hopefully make you a bit more comfortable, might be worth taking some painkillers before you go if it's very sore.

What does it look like now it's dried?
