Suggest Treatment For Toe Infection In A Child
My 15 month old has some kind of toe infection. He developed little white bumps bettween two of his toes ( they looked like small zits ) this last weekend. Tonight they have spread and look like 1/2 inch long blisters running up the side of his toes. He has a red rash on the top of his foot and what looks like red blood blisters under his skin towards the under bottom of the foot at the base of his toes. Should I take him to the ER ?

Hi,
Probably this indicate a soft tissue infection, like an impetigo. Kindly take him to doctor- since the lesion is progressing, this needs antibiotic treatment. Meanwhile, keep the area clean and dry and give him paracetamol for pain if any
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
