Skin infection at base of my feet causing blister?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a podiatrist: You could have a bad case of tinea pedis, also known as athlete's foot. Sometimes it is so bad that it can cause the skin to crack and fissure, allowing bacteria to enter and cause infection, which can be accompanied by blisters. See a podiatrist, who may start you on both an antibiotic and an antifungal. Other possibilities include eczema or atopic dermititis, which can also blister.
