What Causes Athlete S Foot Symptoms Which Is Itchy And Dry?

hello, this is so strange. I started to have athletes foot like symptoms with my left big toe. then became scale like and itchy and dry. this then has since spread to my first little toe and so on. they are itchy, crusty and red like blotches. Now, on the side I walk on they are developing these blister like pockets and are starting to leak fluid?!? they also feel like they are burning and my toes are swollen. I have been to a clinic and suggested diagnosis would possibly be cellulitis of the feet? should I go get a second opinion?

Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that all of your sign and symptoms appear to be of cellulitis, there is no need to second opinion. You can take cefixime, Aceclofenac, pantoprazole which can cover up your infection, pain and acidity respectively. Maintain local hygiene, dressing. You can apply betadine and neosporin powder also.
