Does Lotrimin Foot Powder Cause Swelling On The Balls Of The Feet?
Question: Hello, I am a diabetic, and have been using Lotrimin foot powder for the last few years each time I get out of the shower in an effort to keep my feet dry and healthy. My feet seem to be healthy, with the exception that it feels as if I have a slight swelling on the ball of each of my feet just behind the toes. I do not have athletes' foot, or any other abnormality. The question is: could this product have produced this feeling of slight swelling?
Brief Answer:
Swelling is a possible side effect of this cream!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Swelling is a possible side effect of this drug. I will suggest that you inspect the legs daily to see if there are any possible cracks/wounds. If you do not notice any such worrisome findings, I will suggest you stay calm.
I hope this guides and helps clear your worries. Keep me posted if you have any further concerns. I wish you well.
