Anyone any idea what these could be?? They are small clusters of tiny white dots, around where I tape my foot but not outside of where I put the tape (if that makes sense)! They don't look like verrucas but I have no idea what they do look like!! Also not great at taking pictures on my phone!

Separate thread for why I tape my foot.. OCD, thought it was a verruca, now can't stop taping blah blah!

Are they intensely itchy ?

I ask because it looks a little like pompholyx eczema .
Which is a form of eczema you can get on the hands & feet.
Have you had any eczema before ?

Why do you tape your foot? Is that a clue?

No not itchy at all and I haven't had eczema before! I'm going to Google that!

Not a clue, although it's only since I started taping it. As I said, it warrants a whole other post 🤣 but basically because I thought I had a verruca and I've got OCD, now I just can't stop!

Stop taping your foot,if you don't have a verruca why do you need to? They'll probably clear up.

Yes, you're right. I wish it was that easy with OCD!

Might well be verrucas.
Put tape on, create a warm steamy environment, if they spread, you were right, they are verrucas 😫
