Toe infection/rash - what is this?
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi all,
I've had this redness on my middle toe, on my left foot, for about a week now. It's just above the toenail, on top of my toe. In the evening, it gets itchy, and it's so bad at times I'm have to scratch it on the carpet (which prob isn't helping).
As you can see from the image, the red area is blotchy, looks like it's under the skin.
The red area is also tender, very sensitive and almost numb. Feels really odd. Now it looks as if it's spread to the toe next to it, and there's now a small lump on that toe.
Anybody seen this before? I have an appointment with my GP for tomorrow. I've also had loads of other health problems since last year and have ME, amongst other things.
My pharmacist at the local Boots has given me Daktarin to try but he clearly had no clue what it was. Said to see my GP in a week if it hasn't cleared up yet.!
Thanks

Looks like a simple eczema. Put some eczema cream on it, keep it dry and you should be fine. 😃

Thanks for your response!
I'm using Daktarin at the moment, so will see how that works.
