Suggest Remedies For Red Rashes On The Arch Of The Foot
I have a crack like rash on the arch of my left foot. I have dry skin and I had stepped on a staple in a box that was on the floor, I initially thought the pain and the crack was from the staple. I put neosporin on it along with thick foot lotion. It has gotten better but is not going away. I have noticed it has cracked alongside the original crack. It is slightly red, just where the crack is but not red like it would be infected. It has been about 2 weeks.
