Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi, i have a 5 yr old daughter who has been complaining of an itchy foott since last night. I told her to put lotion after her bath. But this morning she came crying to me that her foot was really itchy. There were 4-5 hard sores under the foot of irregular shapes. They are all under thick skin and look like they have fluid in them. She went swimming and to the park on that day that she started complaining. I took her to the doc and he said that it might be an allergic reaction to an insect bite or something. He prescribed a cream Advantan . The cream is not helping at all and the sores are getting bigger. I don t really know what are the cause of these sores and what i should do to soothe the itchiness
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms of your daughter's seem to be related to an allergic reaction. I agree with the treatment of the doctor. I recommend to add antihistamines such as Cetirizine to prevent the itching. I also suggest cold compress for the local application.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
