I have these red inflamed bumps on my left big toe. They started under the nail bed at the cuticle and went to the tip of my toe. They itch insanely bad when they are new. I try not to scratch them because it makes them hurt severely. I have soaked my feet in warm salt water but the warm water makes it hurt worse, like it s on fire. Cool water feels better. I have had the blisters off and on since March of 2014. When I went to my family doctor for it he said I had cellulitis and gave me a sulfur drug. It helped and they went away for awhile. Since then I have been to a podiatrist and he said my second toe was rubbing it and that was what was causing the red blisters and also that I have fungus on my toenail. He would not listen to why my nail looked like it does and that I did not think it was fungus, he just said to use betadine and something over the counter for fungus. My toenail has partly come off and is split down the middle. Before it split, one of the red bumps or blisters formed under the nail in the middle at the cuticle. It was very painful and was raising the nail up. I had to cut the top off to relieve the pain. Now my toenail looks awful. The red blisters are coming up on the top inside of my toe now. The only thing that helps is keeping it germ free and campho-phenique for the itching. Could you please help me to figure out what is causing it and or help get rid of it for good. Thank you
