Atheletes foot

[AM1954]

Hi has anyone else had this problem, my feet have come out in fluid filled bisters on the souls and heels of my feet. My doctor told me it was a fungal infection made worse by having Diabetes, ive been given Daktacort cream but it does not seem to be clearing after a week.

I'll bump your post up to see if there are other forum members who have experienced this..

If there has been no marked improvement then I would advise you to go back to your G.P.

I had Athletes foot between my little and inner toe for years, it would come and go and I tried all sorts of creams and even tried Lamisil Once, for reasons unknown it eventually cleared up and I've not been bothered for years now, mine wasn't a blister but a small crack in the skin that would go red and itchy.

The blisters are so itchy and the fluid smells foul, tried washing feet twice a day and applied cream , relief for about five mins then just goes back to being itchy and sore, think a trip back the doctors is the way to go ;-(

I also get small blisters on my feet, mainly the heels and sides and they do itch, they seem to last 2 or 3 weeks, go away for a month or 2 and then come back, not been to the doctors about it but I do put Iodine ointment on any blisters that burst to prevent any potential infection.

Sounds crazy but, it could be your footwear! I was having small bumps on my feet which we're driving me crazy! I seen the doctor and she mentioned my shoes, that they actually might be caused by friction! I have bought inserts to keep them fresh and a bit softer. I also gave a good course of anti fungal and skin cream for my feet, this has been seeming to work great for me, give it a try and good luck! Also wash my feet at least twice a day then put cream on them. Hope this helps!

Try lavender and/or tea trea oil as an immediate treatment. Both have anti fungal properties and smell reasonably nice.

I once developed athletes foot all over my feet after getting them cold and wet on the bike on a winters day ride (snow, hail etc). It was so painful I could hardly walk, but not diabetes related.

The oils helped a lot.
