foot

Avatar f tn Other questions: Does she wear socks/ shoes or does she go without socks? Does she go barefoot a lot? I've noticed without socks, my feet can get pretty sweaty. Going barefoot can cause irritation if stepping on certain surfaces, especially if it is the next possiblity. Another possibity is an allergic reaction. There's many possiblitites. I can't really give good advise on the limited info provided. I think the Dermatology community may be able to give you more helpful answers.
Avatar m tn I agree, I used to be able to walk on rocks as a child, and I still love going barefoot but lots of people don't like it at all. No reason to be worried if she only does it outside when barefoot.
178698 tn?1228774338 On thursday I will be 27 weeks. It seems lately that my feet have been swollen a lot, but not every day. I do have a desk job, but get up every couple of hours and move around. I also make sure that I get plenty of water. So I'm concerned as to the culprit or if this is typically going to be normal. Last night feet were really swollen and this morning I can't say the swelling went down that much!
Avatar f tn i have fake hardwood and fake marble floors.....my feet are flat indeed...i think from the floors and i m always barefoot. well i went out and bought a pair of crocs, real crocs and i can t tell you how much better my feet feel....they are kind of ugly but comfort is more important. it s like walking on rubber tires,,,,the the doc scholls gel inserts make them feel even better. i truly love them...
Avatar f tn the only time I go barefoot is getting in and out of the shower. For some reason I need the extra support/sensation of firmness under my feet...probably has something to do with propioception. Wishing you well!
Avatar f tn I would use caution when walking barefoot, there can be parasites and other risks in dirt. At least make sure you have no cuts on your feet and that you wash when you are done. I've never heard of "earthing" before this post, but spent about 5 minutes googling it and have come to understand that it's supporters believe that electrons from the ground will act against free radicals in the body to achieve better health.
Avatar f tn I managed to by my shoes on for the necessary pics and went barefoot for the rest ;)
Avatar m tn Cut your feet off....ha ha just kidding! First of all get some strong bleach and clean out your shower recess or bath tub. Make sure any bath maths are cleaned regularly. Buy a pair of thongs (flip flops) and wear them in the shower. Do the cleaning at least once a month. Next buy some Lamisil. It works wonders! Wear nylon socks not cotton. Contrary to popular belief cotton actually retains moisture and nylon wicks it away.
Avatar n tn Probably from sweat. I wear strictly cotton socks, and shoes that can get air through. If you can go barefoot and let the air get to your feet.
Avatar f tn I have flat feet and its terrible. My back always hurts and my feet do to. I usually only wear flip flips because that's the only thing I personally can wear and feel comfortable.
463595 tn?1333997222 We tell Cash he has Fred Flinstone feet too!! They aren't that long but are sooooo thick and chubby! No matter what the size of the shoe sometimes they just aren't big enough around to accomodate his foot.
Avatar m tn I was at a beach yesterday and walking barefoot suddenly i felt a prick on my feet and i saw i got pricked by a needle lying in the sand . It was a hollow bore needle just like a injection needle but no syringe was attached to it. Am i at risk from this ?
Avatar f tn A few days later I was outside in the early morning and rinsed my feet of with cold water from the hose and the under the skin itch that continues until they warmed up. And today (it's fall in PA around 55 degrees) I am sitting in my living room with the front door open and my hands are itchy, I was never one to wear gloves in the winter, but if this is any indication.. it's going to be an awful itchy winter!
Avatar f tn t get bigger but they got wider, I have a lot of water retention so I can hardly get my sneakers on right.. been confined to flipflops and going barefoot.
Avatar m tn Hi, I have been tested for HIV about 6 months ago with a negative test result. However, the other night I had been drinking and fishing with a friend and for whatever reason I thought it would be fun to walk across rocks barefoot. Well, I woke up with my feet cut up and I can't remember if the person who was with me had on shoes or not as she walked across the rocks barefoot as well. What is my risk of contracting HIV if this person is positive?
Avatar n tn Hi I was at the emergency room getting my ankle looked at I was barefoot when the doctor asked me to walk around to see my walking gait, I stepped on some blood barefoot on the floor and could not wash it off until 40 minutes later when I got home, am I at risk of contracting hiv
Avatar f tn This would not really be something that any type of std transmission would be involved in. Syphilis is transmitted in a sexual way from skin to skin contact but not from her to your back. Syphilis can infect your vagina, anus, penis, or scrotum, and sometimes your lips and mouth. So, her vagina touching your back in the off chance she has syphilis is not going to be likely to transmit. And then on to your mouth on her feet. She's not going to have a chancre on her foot.
314554 tn?1337454119 I see muscle wasting, I am unhappy, sluggish and gaining weight (can easily eating habits) I am going to attempt consistent cardio and walking and hope the neuromas not be a bother in the shortrun. Please advise~Thanks!
Avatar f tn To start I suppose I should say I'm a single mother (husband died after the birth of our son) and I'm absolutely exhausted y'all. My son just recently turned 16 and up until age 15 it seemed like everything was alright. he's always been a bit shy but he had been talking to good friends at school and we had an okay life at home. it seems like he suddenly stopped talking to his friends and became withdrawn, and not much after this some very strange behaviour started.
1541329 tn?1314480539 I kind of appreciate this comment, because when I put my son into pullups or underwear, I'm always conscious of not letting him drag his feet through the leg-holes if he's been out and about barefoot. And he doesn't even have a vagina. I guess the kind of dirt that's on a floor probably won't give her a vaginal infection, but that said, I'd take a washcloth to her feet at changing time if she slides them through her underwear with abandon. A middle ground.
Avatar n tn About a year ago I noticed that, every once in a while, the bottom of my feet and the palms of my hands itch and burn. It doesn't happen all the time but it's very uncomfortable when it does. When it is more severe, I get hard lumps under my skin. When they are on the bottom of my feet it feels like I'm walking on golf balls because they are so hard. It might stay like that for an hour or so, then it goes away.
Avatar f tn Yes! Sometimes my feet hurt so bad I don't want to walk:/ I can't walk around the house barefoot anymore I have to wear house shoes with thick cushion or something.
Avatar f tn My feet are incredibly sore and i am only fifteen weeks pregnant. Its not only my feet but my ankles and somewhat up to my knees. Any way to help this ? Anyone know what causes this?
Avatar n tn These are fungi (called (dermatophytes) that are in the environment and infect the nails, hair and skin. The toenails get infected by walking in a gym barefoot, or wearing someone elses shoes, having moist feet and then getting in a shower where someone else had athletes foot. Breaking a toenail will make you more susceptible if you never were before. Since you already have these toenails infected you can take a drug called Lamisil (there is generic pill too).
