Athlete foot, ecxma or something else?

These were like little baby blisters that popped. They are not itchy, they are not sore. But they shouldn't be there. I've tried canestan but they haven't gone. Then the bottom 2 appeared. Any suggestions?
Thanks wise ones. (I'm just sorry it isn't as interesting a post as the leeches!)

It looks a bit like molloscum with the dimpled centre.

It might be pompholyx - I get it on my hands and it looks similar. I can never resist popping the little blisters, which of course is exactly what you're not meant to do...!

I'd say pompholyx too, I get it on my hands but dh gets it on his feet. For him they multiply if his feet get too hot/sweaty and can become really painful. Open shoes and foot deodorant help reduce them.

It does look like that. But there is no itchiness. I might try a steroid cream to see if it cleats up. Thanks.

Another vote for pompholyx. The level of itchiness varies. I get it on my hands in summer and could scratch until I bleed it's so itchy, my daughter has it on one foot and barely thinks about it.

Yep, that looks like the pompholyx I get. I have a Triamcinolone Acetate cream from the doctor that clears it up.

Catnipcupcakes · 12/07/2024 02:21

Yep, Pompholyx.

I get it on the side of my index finger and the soles of my feet. The blisters sometimes pop and stay ‘wet’ and sometimes dry up and rub off. When that happens they contain a flake of something that must have been the liquid in them. They are so weird.

I’m a bit of a doctor dodger so I don’t have any treatment for them after the tablets that were prescribed some years ago that didn’t do any good, the pharmacist said no cream would help and just to keep my skin clean.

I'm sure my choice of footwear and little tiny shoe tights have caused it. At least it's the summer holidays now and I can wear flip flop style sandals most days. Hopefully that will clear it up.

Daktacort cream from boots is good for these.

I thought I had pompholyx, turned out to have been an deep seated athletes foot. Hydrocortisone cream will tell you: if it cures it it's pompholyx, if it gets worse it's fungal.

Itches like anything though.
