Suggest Treatment For Blisters On Toes And Rashes On Testicles In A Diabetic
Brief Answer:
Possibility of Fixed Drug Eruption strikes my mind.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
Rashes over upper arm, over scrotum (swollen skin due to rash?), blisters over right toes following a recent introduction of a new drug made me to think of the possibility of 'Fixed Drug Eruption'.
It is type of allergic reaction to some drug. It will heal on withdrawal of that drug, but to recur at the same sites along with new sites when exposed to that particular drug once again.
Systemic steroids and antihistamines are necessary to treat the same.
If you can upload the picture, it would be helpful for further discussion.
