What Does A Rash On The Foot Indicate?

I have a rash developing on my foot. I originally thought it was a blister from new sandals, but it is on the top of my second toe. So I covered it with moleskin to prevent rubbing. It hurt more, so I used a new moleskin that would not adhere to the sore spot. The spot has become three. Should I have a doctor look at it, or wait a while?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

It might be due to rubbing because of new sandals. Please send a photo to me to get further evaluation and specific treatment.

For the moment, I can only suggest to:
- soak the feet in warm water and cider vinegar and a bit of baking soda
- dry well
- apply triple antibiotic ointment,
- apply aloe vera and zinc oxide during the day

If still no improvement, should see your dermatologist.

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

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
