Question 1

what cause blistets on sole of feet. i am not diebatic?

Accepted Answer

Acute athlete's foot: The first thing that comes to mind is that this is one of the presentations of acute athlete's foot. Use drying soaks (epsom salts or dilute vinegar) and a topical antifungal... I prefer patients use lotrimin ultra or Lamisil (terbinafine) cream. You can use certain-dry pads or solutions to decrease perspiration.  If this doesn't work, see a podiatrist and be sure to inform them of what you have tried already.
