Question 6

how do i know if i should be worried about the vibrio bacteria? i had a small crack in my skin between my toes and swam in the ocean in naples florida. should i seek care or not worry about it

Accepted Answer

Vibriosis: In your case simply observing the area to look for any sign of a wound infection is all you need to do at this time as I assume that the area in question appears clean. Don't go in the ocean without some waterproof protection of any open areas in your skin. If you still have concerns, see a physician for evaluation and advice.

Tinea Pedis: Cracks of the skin between or under toes usually indicates that there is a fungal component. Try using an athletes foot spray containing terbinafine and scrubbing your feet (especially the toe region with a brush). You can use the spray on your shoes too to eradicate the fungus there as well. After the solution is well absorbed, try massaging your feet with an emollient lotion.
