Watery Bubbles On Toes, Spreading, Increasing In Number, Itching. Treatment Options?
Hi, I m having these watery bubbles on my toes. At first it was quite small and in few numbers. But over the week, they seem to spread and number of them increased. The size of the biggest one is like 0.5cm I ve seen a doctor on Monday and was given a cream to apply but it doesnt seem to be helping. What can should I do? So far they do not hurt but they itch

hello,
this condition is called pompholyx.
the treatment would be application of steroid cream like mometasone furoate 0.1% once a day for 10 days over the toes.
oral antihistaminic tablet like tab. loratidine 5 mg once a day will help you out with the itching.
in case there is any pus filled lesion, then it is infected, a topical antibiotic cream i.e fucidin will be effective.
