Avatar f tn Hi, This could be a fungal infection. Athlete's foot, also called tinea pedis, is a fungal infection of the feet. Most people want to avoid athlete's foot because it is uncomfortable and unsightly. Left untreated, the Trichophyton and Epidermophyton organisms which cause it can spread to other parts of the body. By keeping the feet clean and dry, you can avoid athlete's foot infection rather effectively.
Avatar n tn Is it normal for skin fungus on bottom of foot to take over a year to get better? What if you've been on medication for that particular condition for a year now? [NB.] Medications were changed from time to time.

565779 tn?1216513164 I was diagnosed with Hep. C approx. five years ago, now I have a foot fungus and toe/fingernail fungus. I have also been finding these tiny black things, the size of a pinhead all over my skin, some are even going into my fingernails, as well as my skin. Is this another type of fungus, or do I have some strange bug inside of me? Also does anyone notice a gross odor from the nail fungus? Are people with Hep. C prone to fungi infections?
1551005 tn?1294084788 Sounds like fungus! I get this on my inner thighs :( It rubs against the seam of my jeans and hurts like a S.o.B. I have the best of luck with Lotrimin's. With Lotrimin's, there is a very fast initial response, but you still have to finish the course or it will come right back. However, since yours has spread as far as it has, get thee to a doctor. He or she should be able to give you something that is more effective. Take one shower a day (not 2 to 3!

Avatar n tn s foot on my right sole, specifically on the fingers and upper planter region. The other foot and heels of right foot have been fungus free. I use Dermasporin topical solution but not so regularly. For the last two weeks, I've seen deterioration to an extent that it turned to bacterial infection with pus and blood oozing out. I also had persistent low-grade fever. I contacted my local GP and he prescribed Augmentin 625mg/ three times a day for a week.
Avatar n tn He prescribed ciclopirox which I used for 5 weeks with maybe 25-50% improvement, but it would occasionally flare and come back just as strong. Went back to the GP and he suggested maybe the fungus was almost gone and that it was more inflammation than anything. To be sure, he prescribed oral ketoconazole for 2 weeks and prescription hydrocortisone.
569705 tn?1217017492 gave me pamphlets on hand eczema and the paper said that some eczema is associated with a fungus that also affects the soles of your feet. When I intially went to the dr my feet where already infected. The nails on my hands are also discolored and grow in what I can only describe has "ripples" and crumble off. I have been seeing this dr since January and am not happy with my progress.
Avatar m tn He has had all lab tests possible done and everything comes back normal. He does have toe nail fungus real bad on his left foot and wondering if that could be the contributing factor to the swelling and redness not going away.

Avatar m tn that the skin was cracking (as if the bare foot had been dragged across a rough surface...which was not the case). I bought moisturizer so as to soften the skin, yet the rough skin exterior persisted. Then came the itching & burning sensation (feet). I checked online & found out I had Athlete's Foot (something I nerver had before & I am baffled as to how I got it in the first place...I read a list as to how it can be gotten, yet none of the scenarios applied to me).
Avatar f tn Started out like athletes foot on his left foot then he started getting blisters between toes and on bottom of his foot they are very sore and make sores after they bust. He has some blisters on his hands also. He went to doctor several times they told him it was a fungus. Nothing has done it any good. Now its on both feet and hands. He is a diabetic and he has Sarcoidosis.
