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 sounds like dermatitis. But to confirm the diagnosis you need to visit the skin specialist. As per your description of itching, burning and oozing of liquid from the wound it sounds like dermatitis. It should be treated with clobetasol ointment. It is steroid and can cure the condition immediately. Bit do not use it for long period as it can cause dermal atrophy and in long term use it even may not respond the condition. So withdrawal in between is important. You should not itch it much as it can cause injury and makes it difficult to treat. Infection should be prevented by good hygiene with antibiotic application and good cleaning and dressing. As it is the foot please try to avoid injury to that part. You can also apply liquid paraffin to the site. This will prevent the moisture and the infection. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun. Thank you, Dr Arun Tank Infectious diseases specialist, HCM.
