Having Noticed Bruise With Intense Itching At The Foot

hello, I am a fit fifty year old female and seem to bruise spontaneously . I get an intense itch and then a swelling and large bruise in a matter of minutes. Yesterdays was on the outside of my foot at the base of my baby toe. Just wondering what may cause this. It has happened over the last several years on a few occasions on my fingers but never on my foot.

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

It is a allergy of some kind. This will increase with each exposure.

The best treatment for this condition is the prevention of exposure. If you prevent the allergen it will never causes such a allergic swelling.

For prevention purpose you can use gloves, emollients, vaselline etc. This will make a layer over the skin and can help prevent exposure of allergen.

If by mistake you receive allergy than you can apply steroidal cream. Betnovate cream can be help ful. Please consult doctor before you apply the cream.



I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
