Question 1

hi, both my feet are dry,itchy and peeling skin what can it be?

Accepted Answer

Itchy feet: Dry and itchy scaly feet is usually caused by a fungus and is most likely athletes foot. You need to purchase an over-the-counter antifungal medication and apply to your feet on a daily basis for proximally 3 to 4 weeks. If your symptoms do not resolve you may need a prescription antifungal cream. See a podiatrist for further evaluation.

Question 2

out of nowhere my toes started peeling. they are not itchy. just really dry. i recently had a baby and my feet were pretty swollen for 3-4 weeks.

Accepted Answer

See a Podiatrist: Unusual for swelling to result in peeling toes, you may have a  fungal infection even though it does not itch.

Question 3

skin dry and peeling around toes with some tiny yellow bumps (filled with fluid) on soles of feet. feet are also itchy sometimes. is this dermatitis?

Accepted Answer

Likely: What you described suggests fungal infection. You may wish to see a podiatrist. Foot fungal infection is easily curable with oral medication.

Question 4

soles/palms for awhile small red bumpy spots then dry and peel itchy  comes and goes now spread to body rash feet and hands v hot itchy swollen sore?

Accepted Answer

Hand foot and mouth?: It's very uncommon for adults, common for kids.  In the last few weeks i've seen several adults with hand, foot, and mouth disease. It's an uncomfortable but not dangerous viral illness, improves within a few days, but if your symptoms, worsen, change or fail to improve you should be seen.

Question 5

extremely dry, scaly feet. saw dr., they didn't seem to think it was athletes foot. no cracking or peeling between toes just on tops of feet. small clear fluid filled bumps. extremely itchy. pain associated with itching. tried applying aquaphor nightly an

Accepted Answer

There must be more: So the Dr saw you with severe, itchy dermatitis on top of your feet and did not see features of fungus. What, then, was the diagnosis? Allergic contact? And the treatment was Aquaphor????? Sounds like you need a potent prescription ointment, maybe a short course of prednisone [20mg alternate days for 3 doses].

Question 6

i have bumps on my fingers. i had bumps on my feet but now the skin is peeling. what could this be? it's not too itchy. week ago feet now fingers

Accepted Answer

Dermatologist: I recommend evaluation by a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment. Dyshydrotic eczema is a possibility.

Question 7

how to get rid of itchy (mornings, evenings) little red dots on my feet?on parts with them skin is peeling off.they come at winter, disappear at summ.

Accepted Answer

Athletes Foot: Not every foot rash is af, but it is the most common.  It can cause rash, blisters, burning, itching, and crusting. Start by using an otc antifungal cream such as clotrimazole, otc cortisone cream for the itch, breathable /wicking shoes and socks. Keep feet clean and dry, especially between toes. Powders are good to dust toes and in shoes. If no improvement after a week or two, see a doctor.

Question 8

started as itchy pimple on foot it popped few days later skin began to peel around it  month later more bumps keep coming popping, peeling & spreading?

Accepted Answer

Not a pimple: Your podiatrist or dermatologist will need to see it. It is most likely not a pimple, but either a fungus infection or a type of dermatitis. If the doctor cannot identify it, they can perform a simple procedure in the office to determine what it is.

Question 9

me and my boy both have a rash on our hands and feet. gets itchy, blotchy looking under skin, skin peels, and seems to peel in circles. is it fungal?

Accepted Answer

Certainly can be: but is there anything in your mouths because i worry about hand foot and mouth disease which is a virus. See a derm for correct diagnosis before you start treatment especially on your child

Question 10

i have blisters on the inner side of my right foot. other times they appear as tiny cluster rash. it's not painful, rarely itchy and when the blisters finally pop, the affected area starts to peel off. please, how do i get rid of this?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It could be fungal infection, Try over the counter fungal cream, your pharmacist could help. If that does not help it would be prudent to see a podiatrist. 
Wish you good health!
