What Else Besides Mupirocin, Epsom Salt Soaks And Anti-fungal Pens Can Cure Blisters On Toes Caused After Pedicure?

I had a pedicure done on January 3rd and two days later, these huge puss filled blisters were on my toes- not in the cuticle, but just under it on the skin before the first toe crease. I started out with blisters on four toes and it is now on five toes. They are bigger and they hurt EXTREMELY bad. I can hardly walk on them. I've searched for hours on the internet for pictures or anything that could explain it and I have found nothing. I've tried Epsom salt soaks, mupirocin cream, and an anti fungal pen medicine. Nothing is working. What could this be??

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that you have these eruptions due to allergy to some component used for the pedicure.
And there is super infection with bacteria over them. Thy need to have antibiotics and antihistamins and probably mild steroids.
I advise you to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms ofloxacin, ornidazole, citrizine, and diclofenac sodium.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
