tiny blisters on feet

[redcrx]

Got an appt to see GP tuesday before anyone suggests it lol

since giving birth 4 weeks ago Ive had some tiny blisters on the balls of my feet and to side of big toe.

They started out as just one or 2 tiny fluid filled bubbles and i assumed that they were viral and that i was (understandably) run down. Ive had similar on side of my finger before now but only one at a time.

Now though Ive got about 20 on each foot and they are itching like crazy and driving me mad. Some look slightly dark and havnt filled with fluid as yet.

They are surrounded by very dry skin now too but the bubbles are much larger than they were, the biggest is about 4 or 5mm across.

Has anyone any idea what they are or at least how to stop it itching so much??

my son had something similar was diagnosed as hand foot and mouth---------viral no medication needed

Foot and mouth redcrx, well..... cow lol

[redcrx]

thanks. My son has had hand foot and mouth a couple of years back and i dont recall it looking like this but i could be wrong.

[4getmenot]

Might be different on adults though

just had a look at google and could be shingles.

[redcrx]

ah it cant be shingles as they only affect one side of body, phew, last thing i wanted was to give a toddler and a 4 week old chicken pox!

maybe chilblains

Hi Red, hope you and family are ok.

I wonder if the hot weather has made you develop blisters??

I know a baby and a toddler with chicken pox would be a handful, but it would be good to get it out of the way. My friends all take their kids round when any of their little friends have it in the hope of getting it passed on!

[firewatch]

pomphylx, a form of excma? i suffer with similar symptoms and this is what it was diagnosed as, not much you can do sorry! also occours when i get run down.

[redcrx]

not chilblains, i get them in cold weather and know what they are like.

Doubtful hot weather causing them either.

Not so sure about the ecsema link, could be something like that i suppose.

[bednobs]

i immediately thought hand foot and mouth too

[redcrx]

got nothing anywhere else though, just my feet. Mind you, i wouldnt want them in my mouth or on hands, yuk.

I dont recall little CRX having it for so long either.

Maybe Dyshidrosis?

I've get them when my joints swell up and they drive me mad!

[Eve]

Ps I get very dry skin over swollen joints as well so could be some link there.

Could be a kind of sweat rash - I used to get it badly, a combined cortisone and anti fungal cream from the doctor cleared it up.

[redcrx]

jenna,

it looks something like that so perhaps it is just as you and firewatch say. I suffered ecsema as a child but havnt had any outbreaks for years, the stress of having a baby etc may just have brought on this attack.

thank you all

I get these, try lush dream cream to cool the area and aloe vera when its really itchy, I was told it was an allergy or a bit from something, mine cleared up after 2 weeks.

[firewatch]

im glad i helped!
My excema, pomphlyx flares up the worst when im stressed or run down like at the moment. My feet are covered in the pomhlyx blisters which are a little itchy so im off to find the e45 and sudercreme!

[redcrx]

having two little ones means at least i have lots of sudocreme.

I hope yours clears soon.
