Suggest Medication For Boot Bite
Hello Doctor,
I live in Cincinnati, OH and since its winter time, I wear boots. I have had a boot bite right on the back of my left ankle (calcaneal). I stopped wearing those boots which caused it but I have to wear closed shoes to keep myself warm. I have been in utmost pain for the past 1 week and unable to walk with shoes on. If I touch it normally, there is no pain. Only when I wear shoes, the pain is unbearable. There is also no external wound visible but I can tell the are there has become rough and different from that of my right foot. Can you please suggest how to get rid of this? I have been managing with great difficulty by taping a cotton ball or wearing double layer socks

HI
Well come to HCM
Shoe bite happens due to friction between leather and our foot skin and ultimately form the blister this is kind of thermal injury and highly prone to infection so one need to be very careful, right from the beginning antibiotic need to be started with NSAID (Non steroid anti-inflammatory- drugs) and the best drug would be Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day, apply some talcum powder in side the boot, and on foot this would reduce the friction, have a nice day.
