pus on bottom of my feetby (no login)Hello, For the past couple years, I have had a recurring foot problem where on the fleshy parts of the bottom of my feet (around metatarsal area, and then the balls of my feet) skin sort of dies and there are white blotches that are easily peelable, sometimes down to the dermis. In addition, sometimes they are painful, and those painful ones turn out to have pus in them, which I have popped to relieve the pressure. Sorry to be so graphic, but I am assuming this is a medical forum, and you've probably seen and heard of worse. I cannot find anywhere what this condition is called, nor do I have any idea how to treat it. Sometimes I will peel it or pick at it, sometimes I leave it alone, but it is starting to disturb me, and I want to improve my foot health in a substantial way. I am hoping someone can email me or help provide some advice as to what to do. Thank you, Dave from IP address 24.60.191.32 Goto Forum Home |
