Athlete’s foot, or something else?
I have red, blistering sores that have made a large ring around my middle toes on both feet. It gives me an extreme itching sensation, and doesn’t seem to go away. I have had this condition for almost 2 months now. I started taking an antifungal ointment (melaleuca tea tree oil) to help speed up the healing. I’ve seen pictures of athletes foot and I’m not sure if that’s what it is. I don’t go into wet locker rooms or places and always have my feet dry before I put on my shoes. I’m beginning to wonder if it’s a fungus or something else. Any ideas?
Read MoreBorn with deformed toes-help!
(2 discussions)
Hi,
I was born with six toes on one of my feet (beside pinky toe) and also webbing between the pinky and 4th toe. I had sugery on it when I was little (in the early late 1970s), but the sugeon clearly didn’t know what he was doing.
As a result, my pinky toe still looks deformed and it grew a keloid after the sugery and the nail on it is big, not smooth, and deformed looking (actually it doesn’t look like a keloid, the toe is just big and the top part is deformed). Also, the webbing grew back is still between the pinky and 4th toe ( I don’t think he cut far enough).
None of my shoes fit correctly and I grow a big corn on the pinky toe.
Anyway, when I was in high school I went to a doctor to see what they could do sugery wise and the doctor stated if I had sugery on it again, it will probably grow another keloid.
Now please keep in mind that this was a very small town doctor and was back in the late 1980s.
Do you think a new surgeon will be able to make the toe and the nail look almost normal again with it keloiding?
Any suggestions on good surgeons to do this? I am defintely having sugery on it and don’t think it could look any worse than it is now.
Thanks.
Very, very high arches
(3 discussions)
I’m a 31yo female and I have the highest arches I’ve ever seen. My first question is, should I use any type of support in my shoes?
If I wear any sort of heel, the balls of my feet hurt terrible because it’s my feet are bent up even higher.
What will illeviate the pressure?Also, I’ve noticed over the past couple of years that when I excercise, my toes go numb first, then my feet.
The worst is when I’m riding a stationary bike.
Could it be that the shoelaces are restricting the blood, because I can barely tie the tennis shoes since my arches are so high!
Thank you.
mortons neuroma
I have a mortons neuroma in my left foot between second and third toe.
I have had 3 cortizone shots and was putting off recommended surgery, and then got a stress fracture in foot from walking differently to protect neuroma.
I have read there is a new type of surgery for the neuroma.
What does this involve,and what is recovery time versus old method.Any help you can be would be greatly appreciated..
THANKS
cant walk and on holiday!
I have had a recent bike accident in Bolivia, where I rolled down a cliff. My foot has been swollen for 4 weeks but nothing is fractured- I’ve had 2 xrays. 2 weeks ago a traumatologist suggested putting on a hard cast. At this time I had dark bruising on the medial arch near the ankle end of the foot and it was very painful to put pressure on the toe or heel. I am on crutches and want to know if it is best not to put any pressure on foot or if it is wise to start using toe for walking to help muscle strength (and combat atrophy).
I am desperate for this to heal as quickly as possible as I have not been able to walk for 4.5 weeks now. Any advise would be appreciated (especially from one who speaks english). And most commonly, with the little info I have given can you give me a ball park figure on when it will be better. THankyou for your time.
Impact to back of heel
(2 discussions)
I had a nasty impact to the lower back of my heel. I am sure it was below the archilles tendon. Since then there was swelling and even soft brushing over the skin produces electrical type pulses across my foot.
I have not been able to find anything on the web to explain what is happening or similar things. Anyone have any information for me?
ankles aching after playing tennis
I’m 56 years old I enjoy playing tennis 3 to 4 times a week about 1 to 2 hours each. After tennis my both feet are tired, weak and hurt(feel burning). My both ankles feel better after 15 minutes in the cold water with ice . No injury in the past or found in Xray.
What is my ankles problem? Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.Chhay
