Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
From the description provided, I could think of few possibilities
Fungal infection or tinea pedis - a variant may present as blister
Contact dermatitis to some irritant like soap, detergent, fertiliser, cement etc
Pompholyx- itchy small deep seated blisters which heal with peeling of skin.
Id eruption
It is difficult to pin point a single diagnosis, I would appreciate if you could attach an image of the concerned area.
Also I would like to know
Since how long are you having
Location of lesion over foot
Any other body lesion
Exposure to any irritant
Fungal nail involvement
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Take care
