my foot

Ok a few days ago my little toe really started itching yet there was nothing to really worry about.

Its developed over the last few days (since bout sunday monday) and my toe is now severly enflamed (its at least twice its normal size) is really red and itchy and the redness is starting to spread up my foot but as yet it hasnt gone very far. There is also two blisters one quite large on the inside of the toe where it meets the other toe. I've burst the blisters with a steralised needle and the blisters ran clear so thats alright. Ive rubbed germaline into it as well. There's no smell and no pain just this intolerable itchiness.
At first i thought it was ateletes feet as my brother suffers from it and walks round the house barefoot constantly. But the blisters wouldnt be caused by atheletes foot.

I've been running every day for the last few weeks maybe thats something to do with it?

Anyone got any ideas

Athletes foot can cause blisters, my uncle gets it quite often and occasionally blisters do erupt but you know what im going to say; go see your doctor :smile:

Your brother shouldnt be walking around the house barefooted either, thats probably how you've caught it if indeed it is athletes foot.
