Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, my name is Yvonne and my left foot is swollen to the ankle part. Also I have rashes along the outside of my left foot leading to my 3 last toes. It s very itchy, red and swollen as well. I am also putting hydrosone cream on my foot and toes for the rash. It helps a little bit but then it just starts itching again. I have already went to the doctors and he gave me some pills for the swelling and pain but I don t think it s working what should I do.
As per your history and symptoms possibility of cellulitis with secondary infection can be fungal. Primarily you can take enzyme to decrease swelling like Tab Trypsin and chymotrypsin. Consulting your doctor infection /cellulitis can be confirmed, antibiotic can be started according to examination.
If required you may need to do blood investigation for prognosis and recovery. Take precaution to avoid spread of infection. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
