How Can Swollen Feet With Oozing Pus And Rashes Be Treated?
My husband has swollen feet that are oozing puss between the toes. The tops of his feet are covered in a red rash. We were told it s athlete s foot and an allergic reaction of some sort, but after basically a week of treatment, it s only gotten worse.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It may have started as a fungal infection but it is possible that it became superinfected with bacteria.
It is possible to have more than one infection co existing at the same time.
He should be reviewed by his doctor. Additional medication such as antibiotics may be needed to be used along with his antifungal medication.
I hope this helps
