Hi there!

Anyone ever experience this?

Developed itchy, tiny, clear fluid blisters on my one foot. I have no fungal infections and except for painful - very healthy skinned feet. They developed in the most painful area and are now spreading. Because they have developed over the achillies insertion point, by far the most painful area, I'm thinking they are disease related.

Please help
Thank you,
Jewelz

OH! I wear backless shoes so there's absolutely nothing rubbing on the backs of my feet/ankles.

not as you've described but two other odd "rashes". for one i went to the dermatologist but stumped him, he even did a puncture biopsy. for the other, i should have gone but was busy and the weather was terrible and i was sick. that one looked a lot like psoriasis to me and might have helped with a DX, in retrospect, wish i had gone.

thus my only advice is to go to a dermatologist. if they can dx the skin condition, they may be able to dx your disease.

unless of course its something like poison ivy, but at least they'll be able to tell you that as well. could it be poison ivy or something similar? a poison ivy rash gives you fluid filled blisters.

Hey Sue

Yeah, absolutely no way it's poison ivy.... I called the derm and he's booked up til the mid of Nov...don't think it's gonna last that long (God, at least I HOPE not!)

thx

Hey Jewelz.
It sounds to me like shingles they can affect the limbs get ti checked out.

Hi Jewelz

1. Celiac sores (Dermatitis Herpetiformis)
2. Psoriasis Sores...."
3. Allergies.........."

These are three things that cause these types of sores on me. They are as you describe them. Found them to spread faster when I keep ingesting something I am allergic to/or you scratch them open.

You could possibly go up to ER, or a Urgent care, but these should be checked out by a doctor.

If it's very painful, it could be shingles, like Kevin said. Best to get it checked out asap. But in any way - Ouch!!! Get better soon!

sometimes if you beg, call the nurses line, let them know why its vital that you come in, often they will slip you in.

if not, at the very least, take a photograph. the nice thing about skin problems is that they are visible unlike all the other "crap" they can't see.

I agree with Sue. When I can't get an appointment and it is necessary, I tell the receptionist that it absolutely can't wait. Make it sound even worse than it looks and don't take no for an answer{in a nice way}. This sounds like it can't wait.

Hi Jewelz,

I have no idea at all. I just wanted to tell you that I am sorry you had this added to your problems and that I am thinking of you.

Blessings.

Had PT today. The therapist took a look at it (cuz I don't want to contaminate anything!) She said definately not shingles, probably not the psoriasis pustules either (but not 100% on that). She said it's strange; but then again, I come up with strange things...

It almost seems like now it's going away. I'll give it a day or two. If not gone will call dermy to beg and plead.
