What Do Blisters On The Feet Indicate?

Hi, I have a small ring about the size of a penny on the side of my foot. It looks like a ring of blisters but they are not filled, it is flat to the touch and the skin inside and around the circle on the outside is of normal color. It also itches. Thank you.

Hi,

It can be a fungal infection or irritation by larvae.

As a first line management, you can apply topical anti fungal ointment like Clotrimazole for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persist, you can consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
