Question 1

why do the bottom of my feet turn bluish green?

Accepted Answer

Feet blue green: See your podiatrist for an evaluation as that is definitely out of the ordinary

Question 2

my whole family has green spots on the bottom of our feet, looks like dots from a green felt pen.  kinda rubs off with enough scrubbing but comes back?

Accepted Answer

Likely Fungal: Most likely cause is a fungal infection. Unless you are all walking on same carpet with coloring that is staining your feet.  You can try lamasil and anti fungal powder or spray for shoes.  Wear 100% cotton socks and keep feet &amp; toes clean / dry. If no improvement, see your clinician or a podiatrist.

Question 3

the bottom of my left foot is blueish green?

Accepted Answer

Sole damage.: Bluish green just happens to be the color of a bruise of at least 5 day duration. There are other possibilities such as environmental contamination such dye from socks or shoes and possibly a skin infection. However, I would expect that it would be on both feet. To remove all doubt consult with a specialist.

Question 4

what could cause  small green dots on the bottom of my foot?

Accepted Answer

Weird: That's weird! fungus, dye from socks, erythrasma, or weird pseudomonas infection. Sounds like a trip to the podiatrist!

Question 5

what works in taking care of a green foot please help it hurts!?

Accepted Answer

Get evaluated: This may be something you should have evaluated by your primary care physician or podiatrist.  Discoloration can be caused by many things.

Question 6

i was bit by something the next morning my foot was swollen the bite now size of a dime with green center and severely sensitive what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Stinger: Check to see if a stinger has to be removed. If there is associated redness, antibiotics will be needed. Antihistamines like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) reduce allergic type swelling. I recommend that your physician examine you as soon as possible.

Question 7

my daughter has a blue green spot on the bottom of her foot. she complains about her foot hurting and winces it i touch the spot. it's dime sized?

Accepted Answer

Trauma: Although some birth marks on the bottoms of the feet have been noted to have unusual colors, they are generally never tender.  Pain and new onset of a discolored painful lesion on the foot is suggestive of a retained foreign body and/or infection.

Question 8

what do you recommend if i have a purple/blue bump on my foot - sometimes it oozes green and yellow - should i worry?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Get it seen to-: By your pcp and get investigated with lab work, maybe culture/sensitivity of the fluid will need to be obtained and keep the lesions covered, to prevent them getting infected. A referral to a foot doc might be necessary.

Question 9

my baby has had water type blisters on her feet since she was three weeks but now have a green coloured puss when new ones pop out?

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: Pustulosis plantaris is possible. There are several possible diagnoses. It should be defined & treated.

Question 10

the skin around my toes had begun peeling. really unsure why as they had not been burnt. i've now noticed green tops of my toes only on 1 foot ?

Accepted Answer

Excessive moisture: You may have excessive perspiration.  Powders or anti perspirants may be helpful.  If your problem persists consultant a podiatrist.
