What Can Cause Swelling In The Feet And Blisters Around The Shin?
I havehad swelling in my feet and ankles for a couple of years now. In the last few months Ive been getting blisters on and around my shin and leg. I was treated with water pills and a cream. Im still on the water pills but the blisters have come back worse and over a larger area plus Im finding a few on other parts of my body. They burn and sting and Ive had a couple come up with dead skin instead of blistered with fluid underneath. Do you have any idea?

Hi.
You could be suffering from folliculitis or diabetic bulla or any autoimmune blistering condition. You could apply an antibiotic cream for temporary management of the blisters. But the permanent cure could be made only after proper clinical diagnosis by a Dermatologist. So, I request you to undergo a thorough clinical diagnosis by your Dermatologist for further management.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
