Have Rash And Blisters On The Toe
I have a rash on my toe next to my big toe. Last year in March my big toe on my right foot turned purple, and it had blisters on it, the doctor prescribed Methylprednisolone/ dosepak 21 s 4mg and Cephalex in caps 500mg. In July the rash was not totally gone so another doctor prescribed Triamcinolone Acetonid cream 15 gm .5%. in August, a Dermatologists prescribed Clobetasol Pronpoinate cream 45gm .05%. At the present time I am in Yuma, AZ, and the rash is between my toes again. Please tell what I can do about it, your input would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe it appears to be the taenia corporis, a fungal infection,or it may be an allergic reaction to the shoes, or chappals.
I advise you to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms levocitrizine, fluconazole, ofloxacin, and ornidazole. Along with anti oxidants.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods to have good health resistance against the infections.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
